yes, that would be a good idea, but it shouldn't be only named amd64, 
but it should also contain something like "win" in its name

I have read some forums and blogs about combining 64 and 32 bit in one 
installer, e.g. this one:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1922259/how-to-implement-single-installer-for-32-64-platforms
and it doesn't seem to be very straightforward. It might save us from a 
lot of headaches to just create two separate installers. But of course 
installing the driver from the installer would be good.

I think that the average usbpicprog user does have some technical 
skills, they will be at least able to identify whether they have a 64 or 
32 bit os.
