--- Comment #3 from cas...@jumplink.org ---
Ah...So, the absence of anything denotes 32bit (which is why my ABOUT was
blank) and "(x64)" is only present in the 64 bit install.
Obviously (I agree) this is confusing and created the exact situation I
encountered - I had an install I was trying to upgrade and couldn't determine
what was already on the machine.
To a reasonable user, the absence of anything will be interpreted as 'unknown'
as in "hey, what is installed here?". A person would not know or expect that
it means "32 bit" and that only 64 bit systems have any notation.
If not too difficult the 32 bit version should say "(x86)" at least. (Although
I don't think specifying instruction sets alone is as useful to the masses as
spelling it out fully. AKA: the notations should be: "32bit(x86)" and
"64bit(x64)" in my opinion. I've always felt the use of "x86" alone when it is
really trying to say "32bit" can be confusing.
