Why Does CS3 load into Program Files (x86) in Vista 64bit

I built a computer with Vista 64bit. All my CS3 files loaded into Prpogram Files (x86). Doesn't that mean they will only run at 32bit?

PrPro will probably not be 64-bit, until CS5, if then. Now, only Photoshop CS4 is a 64-bit app.
Judging from some of the questions in the recent Adobe poll, it appears that 64-bit for PrPro is at least a consideration.

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • CS6 Install Question Program Files (x86) 64 Bit

    A bit confusing on Installation of CS6.
    I have 8 ADOBE CS6 folders that installed into "PROGRAM FILES" and 8 installed into PROGRAM FILES (x86).
    There are two versions of ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP AND BRIDGE. One 64 Bit the other is 32 Bit.  Is that normal?
    After downloading first time, I noticed on my desktop a folder -"ADOBE CS6 Production Premium"   Inside that folder was an Adobe Folder, inside that a SETUP.exe  file. So I double clicked on that...and more downloading started. (So I don't know if that was a second download, or a redundant download, normal or not?)
    I don't know if ADOBE installed into the right locations?  Why into two different locations (plus a folder on my desktop?)   Is it all supposed to be in one place?
    Everything WORKS. I had to create shortcuts for the programs onto my desktop. All of the software works fine.
    I just don't know about the two versions of those three programs - 64 and 32 Bit versions?  Is that normal?
    I also don't know why some software installed in the two different locations? Is that normal?
    THANKS! 

    Yes, It is absolutely fine , With CS6 we have got 32-bit and 64 bit version of the software , and it is by Windows that all the 32-bit apps get installed in the Program files(x86) folder however all the 64-bit apps get installed in Program files folder.
    No need to worry just enjoy the apps !!!

  • Should I (and can I) delete Program Files (x86) folder in Windows 7?

    I installed Windows 7 32 bit over a Windows Vista 64 bit computer. I had to reinstall all applications (Office, etc.) and they were installed in the new folder 'Program files'. Can I just delete the old 'Program Files (X86)' folder? Should I do that? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is impossible to upgrade a 64-bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system, no matter it is an OEM disk or not.
    Windows 7 32-bit does not include the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Only the 64-bit operating systems have it. In this case, the 64-bie operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
    In addition, if you performed a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on the old system (Windows Vista 64-bit) partition, the old system files should be saved in C:\Windows.old folder.
    So, Folk70, did you perform a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on another hard disk drive? After logging into Windows 7 32-bit, then you found the “Program Files (x86)” folder in the Windows Vista 64-bit system partition?
    If not, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

  • Why does the iTunes 64 installer install into the Program Files (x86) directory and run in 32 bit mode?

    I have just installed this and even tried to manually get it to install in the "Program Files" directory.  Programs installed into the "Program Files (x86)" directories are 32 bit apps.  This is where the iTunes64Setup file installs to.  Is this intended?  If so, why call it iTunes 64 bit ?  It is compatible in this mode, but iTunes actually running in 64 bit mode could drastically improve performance and processing of large libraries.
    Please advise if this is a known issue or if iTunes 64 bit even exists.

    The 64-bit version of iTunes is a mixture of 64-bit and 32-bit componentry. You'll also notice on your PC that some of the componentry for iTunes itself is installing in the iTunes folder in the Program files directory (such as the miniplayer). The GEAR drivers used for burning and importing are 64-bit. The iPod service is 64-bit. AMDS is 64-bit. Bonjour is partially 64-bit.
    It's normal to see the itunes.exe process running as 32-bit on a 64-bit system.

  • When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'

    When I inherit Form with binding DataSet why then designer find mdb file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\' 
    Do I have to anything to change in my application settings or what I am doing wrong?
    When I inherit a plain Form with no binding DataSet then is all ok.

    I finally saw my longingly expected inherited window containing binding dataset.
    But only by way that I put mdb file right in to the this damn path.
    "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Zdrojove Data\ISMS2003.mdb" 
    In addition mdb file shall be clear too of password.
    We have many windows in our application and we have to work strongly good with inheritance of Form Classes.
    But how I will explain to my Boss if he click on that inherited window and will see this break window?
    Though I will advice to my Boss that hi have to copy too that MDB files to this damn path,
    but the best way could be to find what I need to change that this inherited windows shows without copy this MDB files to
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
    When I check the settings for DataDirectory every paths looks good.
    Even if I set password for the mdb file I almost see only broken designer window.
    Only by copy this MDB file without his password to this path
    'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\'
     I can see this inherited window right.

    I updated itunes.  Now it doesn't run.  I keep getting -" Runtime error Program Files (x86)...itunes helper  R6034  An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Please contact support team."
      Well how do you do that without owning a MAC?  This error pops up every time I start my computer.  The other pop up says Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
      I have uninstalled itunes and re-installed it (I still get the pop up after itunes was uninstalled.) 
      I can't find a restore point before the latest update.  And I can't run itunes on my Windows 7 computer.  Any advice out there?

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

    Thanks,

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to install the new version, but each time during the installation, "Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device/Support/AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources/Info.plist." Keeps popping up. What am I doing wrong?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why was Firefox 4 installed in WIN 7 Program Files x86 directory while Firefox 3.6.12 was installed in the Programs Directory?

    After I installed the new Firefox 4.0 today, Secunia reported that there was an insecure version of Firefox 3.6.12 remaining on the computer.
    OS = Win 7 Professional.
    Firefox 4.0 installed in Program Files (x86) directory, while the old version 3.6.12 remained in the Program Files directory (file version = 1.9.2.3951)
    Why did this happen, and can I just delete the old version in the Program Files Directory, or would there be negative consequences if I did this?
    Thanks
    Bruce

    That's an interesting suggestion about how I acquired the 64-bit version.. However, I just responded to the Firefox updater when informed, and let it install itself - I did not get the 3.6.12 from another source, and wasn't even aware that there were 2 versions.
    The important question for me is - How do I get rid of the reminants of the 64-bit version in the Program Files Directory? - Is it safe just to delete the Mozilla Firefox directory and its contents?
    Is there a 64-bit version of Firefox 4 available, and if so, why didn't it sense that I have a 64-bit system and install the correct version?
