Can I install Acronis as a 64 bit program

Thread needs solution

Can I install Acronis as a 64 bit program?  Right now it just installs automatically as 32 bit.

Ronald, welcome to these user forums.

I am not aware of any way of doing what you ask. ATIH 2017 also still installs in C:\Program Files (x87)\Acronis as a 32-bit program despite the Acronis Rescue Media offering both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the application.

So Acronis True Image is just a 32 bit program.  Strange that I read an old post that made it sound like there was a 64 bit version.  The forum discussion was listed as the following:

100263: Bootable Media : 64 bit or not ?

However, there is no option to choose 32 bit or 64 bit during the installation that I just completed.

Thanks for your help Steve.

Ronald, as I stated above, the bootable Rescue Media does offer both 32 bit and 64 bit program options, but there is no similar option offered for installing the GUI application though this doesn't see to have any negative effect in my own experience, though I guess for users with multi-core processors this wouldn't offer the most efficient use of that capacity / multi threads etc.
