That was intentional and it was written for the Subsurface's use-case. If 
you're upgrading a 32-bit Subsurface, you want to install a 32-bit update, 
even if the system is 64-bit capable.

I can add a currentCpuArchitecture() and rename this one to 
buildCpuArchitecture().

As soon as I can find out how to determine that on Windows...
