Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

U can install the 32 bit application in x64 in the same way that u install the application in a 32 bits OS.

x64 support both 32 bit and 64 bit applications, so, u shouldn't be worried about that.

Dani 72,

When you install a 32-bit application into a 64-bit environment your application will simply install itself into a Program Files x 86 folder.
