EdgeTX 2.12 (released) Companion - 64 bit installation is defaulting to Program Files (X86) directory instead of Program Files directory

[EricP17]

Is there an existing issue for this problem?

• I have searched the existing issues

What part of EdgeTX is the focus of this bug?

Companion

Current Behavior

Setup routine is defaulting the path to the 32 bit program location \Program Files (X86). 64 bit should be \Program Files. Previous 2.11 Companion install was correct.

It is installing 64 bit code. Code still runs from that location.

Also had issues with errors installing the VC++ runtime. I ran that separately and was successful.

Reproduced both issues on two different systems one running Windows 10, the other Windows 11.

Expected Behavior

Should install to \Program Files with defaults

Steps To Reproduce

Download 64 bit Windows Companion 2.12 from https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/releases/
Install and accept all defaults.
