Can I install *both* the 32bit version in "Program Files (x86)" and also
the 64bit in "Program Files" without them conflicting with one another?
If so, can I run the two simultaneously without conflict?
If so, can I backtest using 64bit version and IB's intraday data?
If so, anything special I have to do?
Again, thank you for your help.

You are right. The 64 bit programs install to program files, the 32

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.

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.
