Hello!

With introducing x64 support, you successfully made the user able to run x86 and x64 IDE at the same time. (If the user had "run one instance only" checked.)

During update from 4.30 BETA 5 to 4.30 I recognized, that PB x64 Setup was irritated by running x86 IDE; it didn't want to continue installation until I closed my x86 IDE.
Of course I have always installed x86 and x64 versions in different directories. And I was executing x64 setup while x86 IDE was running in the background. ( I didn't test the other way around.)

I thought, PB x86 and PB x64 are handled as 2 indepentend products? So... Isn't this a mistake?

> With introducing x64 support, you successfully made the user able to run x86 and x64 IDE at the same time.

Actually you can run even two x86 versions at the same time if they are installed in separate directories. (its to run future versions alongside the current one, like 4.30 and 4.40).

No. As explained above, its not x86/x64 specific at all. So the setup makes sure no IDE is running at all.
