Hi Jim, That's precisely what I'm talking about. I have both Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit here so I can test it out. It should pick the correct instalation folder based on if the app is specified as x86 or x64 in the Inno Setup script. While I'm thinking of it the other advantage of Inno Setup is that you'd actually get an option in Add/Remove Programs so you don't need a uninst.bat file for each game.
