<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One thing I noticed is that 64 bit builds go to a x64 folder, with sub directories for OS versions, but 32 bit builds don’t have a similar Win32 folder.  This
 isn’t a new issue, so if it’s not something you want to fix that’s fine with me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
