title: Is it bad idea to put 64b application into ProgramFiles(x86)?
body: <p>We are shipping application, that is 32b, and, therefore, put into <code>ProgramFiles(x86)</code> directory. There is x64 'plugin' for it, running as a separate process (service), and now we're deploying it into the main application's subdirectory. The plugin isn't deployed on x86 systems.</p>
  
  <p>Now, the question - isn't this (having x64 exectuable in x86 ProgramFiles) considered as bad idea? Can this solution have negative impact on <em>(something)</em>?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
