Hi all, i have installed Photoshop CS4 on Vista 64 bit.
But it is installed on 64 bit dan 32 bit version...
How to remove it from 32bit version (Program Files X86) ?

thanks

Is photoshop listed in the 64 bit programs folder?

yes, it is listed on 64 bit program folder and on 32 bit program folder.
i just want to remove the program in 32 bit program folder

thanks

If it were me and I wasn't running out of hard drive space I would be tempted to leave it as it is.

It is not going to harm your PC if you leave it, just create a shortcut to the 64-bit version.

It may be safe to remove the 32-bit version but I don't know so I can't really say, someone else may know but I would leave it for now.

it will be better to save 500MB on my HDD

thanks

It needs both i think, i think the rendering engine etc... are 64 bit, while other parts are 32 bit. Thats how it with other intensive applications e.g CAD apps.

Its 500MB, just leave it there. Most likely (as said about) the 64 bit version needs the 32 bit folder to fully function.

OK - as someone who uses PS CS4 on a daily basis, can answer a couple of questions:

PS CS4 x86 x64 are two completely separate entities - no interaction btwn any components.

That being said, there is a good reason that at this point the x64 build installs both environs... 3rd party compatibility. In my case, I have a scanner which lacks nesc components to interact with PS x64, thus have to use the x86 version to import content from scanner. Also, some filters/plug-ins also not compatible with x64 version. Thus, by giving the user both versions, they are allowing you that fall-back if you need it.

hi kaninelupus

I read what you said that both photoshop CS4 X64 and X86 does not interact. And this is right that some plug in are not available in X64. so here is my problem the default program to open psd file is photoshop CS4 X64 since my operating system is windows 7 ultimate X64. I cannot change the default opening to photoshop CS4 X86 I do not know why. And my plug in from eyecandy company can not be installed cause of the X64 version. Is there a way to keep only the X86bit version??
could you help me please
thanks in advance

best regard
