You are right. The 64 bit programs install to program files, the 32 bit install to program files (x86).
I have never tried, so I'm not sure if it matters if you place them in a different directory. I run AB 64 bit from the program files directory. --- On Sun, 3/29/09, Keith McCombs <[email protected]> wrote: From: Keith McCombs <[email protected]> Subject: [amibroker] AB on XP-64bit? To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, March 29, 2009, 10:58 AM I just got my new system up and running with XP-64bit SP2, and want to install AB Pro 5.20, and use it to its full advantage. I also want to eventually use AB with IB. My XP-64bit has two folders for programs, "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)". I guess that "Program Files" may be for 64bit programs, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32bit ones. Is that correct? Does it really matter? Which folder should I install AB in, or does it matter? What about IB TWS? Are there any other questions I should be asking before proceeding with the installation? Thanks for your help. -- Keith
