I lost that argument. Apparently some 64-bit systems can't run 32-bit
applications. I wanted to just have one setup with a check box
determining which version to install. That idea was vehemently
rejected.
However, this should work (I haven't tried lately):
.\setup-x86 --arch=x86_64
Assuming you aren't part of the .001% who can't run x86 executables.
