devenv.exe is still 32-bit, so it makes sense to push VS' IDE into the
x86 folder.

But nothing in my app will get a *32 after it in Task Manager. It will
use 64-bit ODBC aliases on x64 systems. And it will use 32-bit ODBC
aliases on x86 systems.

Personally, I do not mind so much concerning the placement. This
particular package is supposed to be installed on servers. If they
were my servers, I'd probably end up installing it in a completely
different location.

My non-developer testers have actually commented on the placement (x86).

No biggie though.
