Wrong version of HPSIM6 installed ?

Wrong version of HPSIM6 installed ?

Did I misunderstand this or not ? I believe I read somewhere earlier that HPSIM6 would be a 64-bit software on a 64-bit version of Windows ?

However when doing an upgrade from 5.3 running on an x64 system all the software that gets installed seems to be 32-bit version ? At least it gets placed in C:\Program Files (x86\HP... instead of C:\Program Files\HP...

Is this because I'm upgrading and must I do a clean install if I want 64-bit HPSIM, or am I just remembering this completely wrong and there's no such version ?

Re: Wrong version of HPSIM6 installed ?

Ok, I'm re-phrasing this into more of a statement instead of a question, from what it looks like when upgrading SIM 5.3 to 6.0 the upgraded files will be 64-bit, but they will still be in the 32-bit Program Files-folder, which is more unfortunate rather than critical in any way.

However, is there any way to "move" the folder without breaking the entire installation or does that mean a tedious backup/uninstall/reinstall/restore-procedure ? Anyone ran into this more than me ?
