Yep. This is normal. I has nothing to do with VMWare. Two directories are for x64 and x86 apps.

Hi, Wanted to confirm. I am installing Win2k8-64Bit standard as VM (on ESX) and after installation I am seeing two C:\Program files ie. C:\Program Files C:\Program Files x86 Is this a normal behaviour? It seems obvious that something which is non-64 bit complaint may be going to x86 folder.. But in this case other than VMWare tools nothing is installed. Is this a normal behaviour of Windows to create two 'program files' folders and be prepared in advance for future x86 apps?
