Installing to Program files vs Program Files x86 on an x64 b

Hi,

Is there an explicit macro for installing into \Program Files\ vs \Program FIles (x86)\ on windows 64 ?

Also i am using a 32/64 combined exe installer so it'd have to work for both 32 and x64 so i can't use ProgramW3264, since it doesn't exist on 32bit

thanks,
charlie

[AI_ProgramFiles] Seems to work, is that the right one ?

Hi Charlie and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Indeed, here's the Advanced Installer Package Types user guide article that explains more.

All the best,
