Installing an extension _just_ for Photoshop x64 (or i86)

Question

Hello folks,
As part of our product we are installing a Photoshop panel (using XManCommand.exe command line utility from the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 suite). While in the Extension Manager there are two separate entries for Photoshop 64 and 32, it seems that this command always installs the panel for both platforms. Our installer natuarally allows the user to install the product for each platform separately, so I wonder how can we install the panel just to either 64 or 32 bit version of Photoshop?
Ditto for the uninstall.
Thanks in advance!

May I ask why you want to distinguish PS 64 and PS 32 for Creative Suite Extension? As far as I know, Creative Suite Extension should not care about the runing environment: 32bit or 64bit.
As you mentioned, currently there is only "Photoshop" or "Photoshop Extended" in manifest.xml, so Photoshop doesn't distinguish 32 and 64 for Creative Suite Extension. Hence, after the Creative Suite Extension is installed, both Photoshop64 and Photoshop32 would load this Creative Suite Extension.
The only way is to ask that Photoshop team to provide additional entries in manifest.xml so that Extension Manager can distinguish PS 32 and PS 64.  If Photoshop can provide like "Photoshop32" , "Photoshop64", "Photoshop Extended 32" and "Photoshop Exteneded 64", Extension Manager would be able to distinguish 32 and 64.
Note:
If you only want that extension is listed under Photoshop32 or Photoshop64 in the Extension Manager UI, there is one workaround for this. But note even that extension only occurs for Photoshop32 or Photoshop64,  both Photoshop32 and Photoshop64 would load this extension.
