<p>Is it possibly a case of the 32-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, and
10 (Vista too?) only having</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Program Files<br>
</p>

<p>as that was the default program directory from even earlier
versions of Windows. For the 64-bit versions of Windows, the
"default" program directory, which assumes 64-bit programs, is
still</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Program Files</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and the directory <br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Program Files (x86)\</p>
</blockquote>
<p>is added for 32-bit applications.</p>
<p>So for installs, the installer has to determine the version of
Windows (ie 32 vs 64-bit) and the version of the program (digiKam
32 or 64) and install in the appropriate directory. (Obviously
not installing a 64-bit version on a 32-bit OS).</p>

<p>I am anxiously awaiting for this issue to be resolved to install
the 64-bit version of digiKam on my 64-bit Windows 10 box!</p>

The install path is selected by NSIS installer depending of window
architecture. Look line 100 of NSIS script :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=digikam-software-compilation.git&a=blob&h=b084e410223a76887423337a7e9ae9487ed84ed3&hb=deaf44067a31158e5f0cb4a5a29f7ca26135bc49&f=project%2Fmxe%2Finstaller%2Fdigikam.nsi#l100">https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=digikam-software-compilation.git&a=blob&h=b084e410223a76887423337a7e9ae9487ed84ed3&hb=deaf44067a31158e5f0cb4a5a29f7ca26135bc49&f=project%2Fmxe%2Finstaller%2Fdigikam.nsi#l100</a>
Here, with my Windows 7 32 bits the install path is really C:\Program Files\,
not C:\Program Files (x86)\. This last path do not exist on the system.
