It's very easy to install both 32 and 64-bit runtimes (and it doesn't matter if 
they're user or system installs).

But when you're installing packages in the nt_user scheme (--user with pip), 
you can only use one or the other. If you install with 32-bit runtime first, 
then you'll get 32-bit binaries installed and the 64-bit runtime won't try and 
install the package again (or it'll delete it and replace it with one that only 
works with the 64-bit runtime).

With the change in PR 22098, the 32-bit interpreter will install to a different 
location.
