64 vs 32 bit %ProgramFilesDir%?!

So, we are cheating a bit...

 

instead of deploying java, flash, shockwave etc etc to every desktop to allow users these features in IE8/9 we've decided to ThinApp Firefox and include "IE" shortcuts in that package.

 

This is done by adding this to our Firefox ThinApp...

 

[IE-with-flash.exe]

Source=%ProgramFilesDir%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Shortcut=Firefox.exe

 

This works great so far, it launches "the native" IE and allows access to the appsync'ed Flash, Shockwave and Java thinapps on the system.

 

HOWEVER, I was wondering if we could do the same for the 64 bit version? Is there a variable to identify the 64 bit folder? Or will the "32 bit" thinapp sandbox "force" it to only use the 32 bit app?

 

Any ideas?
