[Digikam-devel] [digikam] [Bug 365125] Win64 version cannot start

[7mgte]

Is it possibly a case of the 32-bit versions of Windows 7, 8, and 10 
(Vista too?) only having

    C:\Program Files

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

    C:\Program Files

and the directory

    C:\Program Files (x86)\

is added for 32-bit applications.

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).


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!
