64-bit iTunes installing in Program Files (x86)?

Aren't 64-bit programs supposed to install into the Program Files folder not the x86? I thought this one was for 32 bit folders.

Hi,

Don't worry about it. Let it install into the Program Files(x86) folder. This is correct. Do not try and force it into the Program Files folder. The reason for this is because some 64bit application are actually only 32bit applications that are compatible with 64bit computers. Windows detects this and puts it in the x86 folder. This is all perfectly normal and iTunes should work perfectly on your computer. If you have any more problems, just post back.

EDIT: The only part of iTunes that is properly 64bit are the CD burning drivers.
