Windows Installer - 64 or 32 bit?

Hello to all,

I am new to this list (but not so new to Gimp). I will hold a photo and video editing seminar tomorrow where I will present Gimp as an alternative to Photoshop.

There has been only one precompiled Windows Installer for Gimp ever since and I wonder whether it installs a 64 bit or a 32 version of Gimp - or just chooses the adequate (?).

The program's "Help" info is of not much help in regard to this issue. 32 vs. 64 bit software seems to bee a big issue under Window at the moment and will surely provoke questions tomorrow. So could you please enlighten me?

Greetings from Germany Wolfgang Hugemann

On http://www.partha.com there are installers for 32-bit and for 64-bit.

BTW: Have a look at my website www.bilderstroeme.de. There you will find very good ideas for an easy photo editing seminar using gimp. Greetings from Erkelenz, Germany

The installer from automatically installs 32 or 64-bit version depending on your system. Since GIMP's plug-ins are separate programs, 64-bit version can still use 32-bit 3rd-party plug-ins.

It would be a good idea to point that out on the website and perhaps re-assure the doubtful user when he/she chooses "Info..." from the help menu. All the more so as some websites offer special 64-bit-installer packages and thereby cause you to wonder what version you have installed on your computer ...

But thanks a lot; this is the ultimate answer from the one in charge !-)
