Files default to 32 bit version of Photoshop CS6

After I installed Photoshop CS 6 64 bit on my PC, I discovered I also needed the 32 bit version for twain support, so I then added the 32 bit version. My problem is now all tiff, PSD, etc. files in Windows Explorer as well as the "Edit In Photoshop" command in Lightroom defalts to and opens up the 32 bit version. How can I change this to default to the 64 bit version?
I would appreciate any help in correcting this problem. TIA

No it was in install on a brand new machine, no previous version installed. I did first install just the 64 bit version and when I discoved 64 bit did not support 32 bit, I added the 32 bit version.
And yes I am selecting the 64 bit version in the open with dialog box, but it still defalts to the 32 bit version. I have the save problem with Microsoft Powerpoint, I have an older version installed to assist some clients that haven't upgradded, and I can not get explorer to open the older version and keeps opeing the current version.
So yes it is a windows problem, just wish that Lightroom could be set to open the 64 bit version like you can with Bridge.

Both 32 and 64 bit versions of Photoshop CS6 installed

Hiw can I uninstall the 32 bit version?

You can't. You need to uninstall both and then reinstall only the 64bit version, if that is what you want.

How/where do I change the default for File>Open With>Photoshop? i haven't had Photoshop CS2 installed since the first CC 2014 version, and it was working fine until this last update last month.

Nice of you to point it out here as I at least don’t follow Mr.Nash’s blog regularly.

I downloaded the 32 bit version of photoshop cc 2014. When trying to install I get the message that installer failed to initialize and that this could be due to a missing file. Has anybody a solution ?

Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer? You need to do that.
I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition. The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop. The user manipulates the image and saves the changes. The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server. The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image. The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing. But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
- I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
- I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation. The script just stops working in this situation.
- I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3. The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version. But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions. So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Do you mean schroot? If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

How to define 64 or 32 bit version of Photoshop is installed on computer?

Hi,
Is there way to determinate (from registry for example) 64 or 32 bit version of Photoshop is installed on computer?
Both versions (32 and 64 bit) have identical records in registry.
Dmitry

If you are a 64 bit app you can see both the 32 and 64 bit parts of the registry. See the WOW64 section for the 32 bit entries. If you are a 32 bit process you should only see the 32 bit side of the registry.
The interesting keys would be here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0\
If you can find the second key then you are a 64 bit machine and the wow6432 is where the 32 bit version is and the other key is where the 64 bit version is. If you only find the first key you are 32 bit version and that is where the 32 bit version is. This is in theory as what happens if a user only installs the 64 bit version.
What I do is...
If I want to launch 32 I run cscript out of windows\syswow64. The 32 bit version of cscript.
If I want to launch 64 I run cscript out of windows\system32. The 64 bit version of cscript.
Which is pretty funny given the names of the folders!
The type of user running the program of course plays into this as well. I am an Administrator and have that pesky 'are you sure you want to do something' dialog boxes OFF.
I also think you can look at some environment variables to see if you are 32 running on a 64 bit os. But I have not played with those much. Here are some interesting ones from my machine.
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64
ProgramFiles=H:\Program Files
ProgramFiles(x86)=H:\Program Files (x86)
ProgramW6432=H:\Program Files

Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

I have used Photoshop 5.5 for many years and it is all I need and more. I just bought a new HP Win 7 computer and tried loading my old CD. I won'f work because meant for 16-bit computers. Can I buy a 64-bit version of Photoshop 5.5?

Hi,
You actually tried to install photoshop 5.5 and got the message about it being 16 bit?
(usually it's only the installer that is 16 bit and the actual program is 32 bit)
Photoshop 5.5 should work on windows 7 x64 if you don't have more than 1 TB of free space on your hard drive.
Your sure it's photoshop 5.5 and not an earlier photoshop version.
You might try copying the folder that says photoshop off the cd onto your hard drive and then running the Setup.exe
Anyway, check how much free space your hard drive has and if it's more than 1 TB, then no use trying to use photoshop 5.5 because it won't work.
(photoshop versions before photoshop cs can't see free space on hard drives if it's more than 1 TB and would give a scratch disk full message if you try to run them)

File Not Compatible w/ This Version of Photoshop?

I was working on a file last night, clicked save, walked away, and came back a few minutes later. It appeared that the file saved; however, my computer was frozen. I gave the system a forced restart and now I get a message saying that the file is not compatible w/ this version of photoshop (CS6). I can see the saved file in Lightroom and it has the last edits in it that I did right before saving, but the file will not open in Photoshop.
I tried renaming the file w/ no luck. If I right click the file and click properties I can see the correct file size and camera information for the file.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

You're probably out of luck. It sounds as if your system failed just at the time when Photoshop was trying to save your file, and what actually got onto the disk was truncated or corrupted.
I take it the file did not auto-open the next time you started Photoshop. That would have been your best bet, for the Photoshop Auto-Save recovery feature to have kicked in. But apparently the failure occurred when there was no file auto-saved, or perhaps the auto-saved version was deleted coincident with the save. That's bad luck indeed.
I'd definitely suggest looking in the Windows System Event Log to see whether you're having drive problems, and if none are reported perhaps doing a CHKDSK on the drive to ensure your file system isn't corrupted.
