"open with" in Win7 not working

Hi, Marcel.

I can’t help with CS5 or Photoshop specifically because I’ve never run either of them. (Closest I come is with Photoshop Elements.) But for all applications installed in 64-bit Windows (including WinXP x64 and Vista x64, as well as Win7 x64), the default location for a 64-bit app is the C:/Program Files folder. For a 32-bit app in 64-bit Windows, the default is to the folder that does not exist in 32-bit Windows: C:/Program Files (x86). Note the “(x86)â€, which is supposed to signify the Intel x86 family of CPUs (8086, 80286, Pentium, etc.).

Another way that SHOULD work is good ol’ Help | About. In IE8, for example, the 32-bit version runs by default in a 64-bit Windows. Click IE’s Help | About Internet Explorer; if you see “64-bit Edition†following “Version 8.0.7600.16385â€, then you are running the 64-bit edition of IE8; if it doesn’t mention “bitness†at all, then you are running the 32-bit edition. I don’t know if Adobe’s apps are this informative; please let us know if you find out.

Of course, you're right, Frank.
What I meant was one had the choice.
Hoewever, could you please enlighten me on one thing: How do I know which is
which once (and if) it's installed on both 32 and 64 bit. All I get is
Photoshop in the uninstall program. I'm asking because I re-ran the
installation and saw the 64 bit was the second one (the one below).
Secondly, Is there a merit in having both 32 and 64 bit?
Third. If I want only the 64 bit, can I unisntall the whole thing and
re-install, even if it's an upgrade and my CS3 is on anothe machins now?
Since this is a Win thread, you may answer me directly.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Marcel

One interesting data point: in downloading the volume license version of
Office 2010 from Microsoft's VLA site you've got the choice of the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions. The page from which you select which version you want
has the notation:

=====

Important: Microsoft strongly recommends the use of 32-bit (x86) versions of
Office 2010, Project 2010, and Visio 2010 applications as the default option
for all platforms. Learn more about the deployment considerations for x64
and x86 at Technet.

The link under "Technet" is:

Hi!

Sorry to have taken so long to answer. I was of town.
I did find out about the default location. CS5 is as you said in the default
folder, not in (x86).
I finally gave up and was able to link JPEG's with Bridge CS5, which is a
good compromise.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Hi, Marcel.

I’m glad you’ve had some success with this.

But you may have misunderstood what I said about the installation location; my explanation may have confused things.

> I did find out about the default location. CS5 is as you said in the default

Unless it is a 64-bit application, CS5 SHOULD have installed into C:/Program Files (x86).

Unless it is a 64-bit application, CS5 SHOULD have installed into C:/Program
Files (x86).

It is a 64bit application and has installed accordingly
