No, that's never the case. We need system and library support for 32-bit code.

I don't know, but it's kind of pointless to do so.

I suspect many don't realize the needs of Wine and Win32 programs (cf. Ubuntu
dropping 32-bit support, and initially waving off Wine with "your 64-bit
programs will still work"). Even 64-bit programs almost always ship with 32-bit
installers, since otherwise they can't work on pure 32-bit Windows
installations (which, yes, still exist).

Anyway, resolving invalid since the installer works with a correct
configuration; please reopen if I've misread or there's still a bug here.
