1. If your system is 32-bit, you are unlikely to be able to install a
64-bit application and even less likely to be able to execute it if

"Unlikely" is an understatement. You can not run a 64-bit program in
32-bit Windows.

I tried once and the initial stub does load, at least on the program I
was trying to install but it detected no 64bit machine and just printed
an error on the screen and then stopped.
