    Hello,

    We installed both 32-bit and 64-bit 7-Zip on our PCs to ensure users can zip up in 32-bit mode if needed. However we found a couple issues:

    • When installing in order 32-bit then 64-bit, the 64-bit installer tries to install in the same folder of the 32-bit install C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip
    • In the start menu, there is only 1 option for 7-Zip which is not distiguisable for 32 or 64 bit version. By default, it is the last version installed.

    Ideally, the 32-bit should be installed completely separately from the 64-bit version, the Registry Entries should also be completely separate and in the 7-Zip Start Folder, the 32-bit and 64-bit should be mentioned.

    Could you consider implementing this request if possible. It would be very much appreciated.

    Regards.

    what version number of 7-zip?
    msi or exe?
    If it's msi, try exe instead of msi.
