Why default install directory 32 bit?

My install creates an EXE and an MSI. The EXE correctly defaults to the install directory C:\Program Files\MyApp
However, the MSI defaults to the install directory C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp
Why?
Thanks!

Re: Why default install directory 32 bit?

Hello,

This is happening because your "MSI" build is set to "32-bit" in "Install Parameters" page:
