Why gsudo installs in "Program Files (x86)" in Windows x64?

Hi!

I'm using Windows 10, x64, Home Edition. I wanted to test gsudo and I installed it on my system using the MSI installer for version 2.0.4. It installs, by default, in Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files. If it is detecting the platform properly, and it is doing so because on launch the 64 version of gsudo is the one running, why does it install on the x86 version of Program Files?

I don't think this is a bug, I'm just curious why is gsudo doing this, just in case I'm doing something wrong when installing it.

Thanks!

Sorry for answering so late. You did nothing wrong. At first I thought having one installer for all platforms was a good idea: removing the user to have to make the decision "which platform to download"... So, to have a single .MSI for all platforms I had to bind the installer to the lower denominator (x86), which worked, but forced the install to "x86" folder.
On 2.0.6 I reverted that decision and we now have one installer per platform that will install to the standard Program files folder, no more "x86'.
If you update to latest, gsudo will install in the correct PF folder.

No need to be sorry, and thanks a lot for the explanation 😄 And of course, thanks a lot for gsudo!
