Rollback Rx a true 64 bit application?

[John Phoenix]

I just downloaded and installed the trial of 9.1 ( kinda leery about it considering my trouble with it in the past)

I noticed it does not install itself in the Program files folder for 64 bit apps, but instead installs in the x86 program files folder for 32 bit apps.

Does the home page say "Supports Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 (all 32 and 64 bit versions) " simply because it works in 64 bit systems or is this a true 64 bit app?

I cant believe no one knows the answer to this simple question. I would at least thought I'd get some other replies saying, " Good point, I want to know that too".

Does no one care if the program is 32 or 64 bit? You people do know why it important for all apps in a 64 bit machine to be true 64 bit applications - don't you?

John,

Could it be that some of us are on Windows x86 and therefore do not have a clue as to answering your question/concern?

Just be a little more patient, I'm sure someone will come along with an answer to your question. You could always direct your question at the support-team (http://support.horizondatasys.com) but that answer may even take longer.

Yeah I realize some people are still using 32 bit system. I will be patient.. just surprised no one yet knows the answer. The industry is pushing 64 bit. When I went to purchase this machine last February, I could not find a new notebook that was 32 bit. All were 64 bit.

I am very concerned about this because 32 bit is going the way of the dinosaur. If you have a 64 bit machine running 32 bit apps make the machine less efficient and less stable. That's why it's so important that all 64 bit apps are true 64 bit apps.

Perhaps so - the industry will do anything to induce us to keep buying more hardware and software!

But I tend to hang onto things that still work and do the job. My 2 'dinosaurs' (WinXP x86 laptop and desktop) run just great (and pretty darn fast) on 1 and 2 gigs of RAM respectively. So until they break-down, or someone shows me how it really benefits me to buy into the Intel/Microsoft diatribe, I'm a happy camper.

John, I have been running Rollback on my W7x64 system since the W7 RTM was released.

If you want an exact answer your best bet is to ask tech support by submitting a ticket.

My answer would be that Rollback is indeed a 32bit app but 64 bit compatible hence why it installs under "Program Files (x86)".
