While they haven't made it a 64-bit program, they added full
support for installing 64-bit applications. It looks like this
happened around April 2007 / release 2.26, so it might not have
been in the version you tested. For example, the variables
$PROGRAMFILES32 and $PROGRAMFILES64 can be used to select
the desired target directory explicitely. I don't know if
this means they disable some redirection internally.
