Okay. After checking it appears that it is indeed a 64bit process. However, after running an administrative powershell and trying
msiexec -i openafs... The openafs install begins, I answer to remove the prior version, and to do a typical install, then I get a message that Files are in Use - close windows explorer and retry to continue... How can you kill the windows explorer ? Its the grandaddy of all things -- and it will restart itself .
