the 64 bit-version should be able to provide both formats, like in PellesC,
merely in the compiler options select the output-format

It would double the package size, because almost every file would need to be provided in a 32bit version as well. The only really shared file would be the IDE.

but the x64 user have only install one ide, not both, so its the same

it is very unlikely which does not instal, a 64 bits user the 32 bits version

Why not just let the two detect each other, and offer the other IDE in the menu?
"Compiler>Open x86 IDE" (in x64 IDE menu)
"Compiler>Open x64 IDE" (in x86 IDE menu)
alternatively place it under the File menu.
