    does win 7 64 bit install 32 & 64 bit browsers


    When you install Win7 64 bit on a new hard drive does it install both 32 & 64 bit IE browsers ?

    If not can you just download and install the 32 bit one and use either

    You will get both
    This is from experience; a new install of Windows 7 and I have both.

    32 is included because some programs, like Flash use to be just 32.

    Ballie, just to confirm, I also had both 32bit & 64bit versions when I did a fresh install of Windows 7 :)
