Every so often i come across a program that has both bit versions onboard, but have a single installer (probably a container in which 2 other installers are present).
Having a 64bit PC with 64bit OS, these one-installer-for-both-versions ALWAYS seem to prefer the 32bit over the offered option of 64bit installation, which drives me totally insane.
Mind, I have Aspergers, and I am an OCD perfectionist.
Having a program running 32bit on a 64bit system, while the program has a 64bit counterpart but simply opted to NOT install the most logical one, just cannot be.
4 days ago, I had this AGAIN with a program that I bought: Raxco Perfect Disk.
1 installer that has both 32- and 64bit on board, but went for 32bit installation.
Which made me so angry, I took my Windows Install stick and did a clean installation... (and in my anger I forgot to put all important things that I had not yet set over to my Data system (16TB worth on internal drives) which will cost me quite a bit of misery...
Now, having explained my problem, and my personal issues with these things, I come to the question:
Is there a command line or something that I can use, to make similar bi-version installers to FORCE to pick the right version to install, please?
Since... sadly... this is not the first time similar as this happened to me...
I asked around, googled for answers, but to no avail, and many seem to think I am either trolling them, or trolling them...
No one understands where this anger comes from when these things happen, but it IS truth, and I cannot help it...
Please... help me... (if that is even possible in this situation, considering I never found an answer anywhere over an extensive period of time).
Thank you.
