Really? That doesn't sound right to me.
I thought if your app works fine as a 64-bit version for 64-bit hosts
then you compile one version of your app with the target as "Any CPU".
It will run as a 64-bit or 32-bit app depending on the host. If you use
the correct system calls for folder paths etc then it will just work. No
need to compile a 64-bit and and 32-bit version.

Really, you should compile a 64-bit version for your 64-bit host
systems and a 32-bit version for 32-bit hosts.
On a 64-bit system, registry and program files etc are
virtualized so that a 32-bit app "sees" what appears to be a 32-bit
Windows. Refer to (amongst many others) Raymond Chen ("Old New Thing"
blog).
However (and it has been said many times before) you shouldn't
be storing your app's working or data files in that location.

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)Issue?
Iam using some
code....Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles
) which apears to return the same path when i use it on an application
deployed by Clickonce or run through VS 2008
But i have noticed that it stores any files physically on the
computer(Windows 7) under
c:\Users\anthony\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\test
When i resolve the address in code the address is c:\Program
Files (x86)\test I think this has been spoken about but what should i
use to be able to store file on any computer in a consistent way?
