Why does the x64 version install to the Program Files (x86) folder by default? Shouldn't it be installing to the normal x64 Program Files folder?

agreed. just updated from 3.3.7 x86 to 3.3.1.0 x64 and now they update to 3.3.1.1, what are the odds lol
maybe it just overwrites the previous directory to keep things nice and clean ?

64-bit NOTICE: The 64-bit version is only compatible with Windows Vista+.
Also you might experience increased memory usage compared to the 32-bit version.

Even on a 100% completely fresh install, it defaults to the (x86) directory.

Err yeah. I'm using Windows 10 x64, but I didn't ask anything about compatibility or memory usage. If you don't understand the question, please don't answer. I'm saying on a 64 bit system, the x64 installer should by default install to 'Program Files' and not 'Program Files (x86) as it does.
