I'm still not sure though whether the installer installed 64-bit jack

Okay, I'm not sure if anyone's actually reading these reports but after
some further experiments, I think I finally figured this out. Here's
what I said in my original report:-

I just found an opportunity to try the 64-bit installer.
Firstly, the installation folder it offered was "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Jack" (which suggests that its actually a 32-bit installer)
What seems to be happening is that the 64-bit installer is installing 2
x 32-bit components, namely:-
C:\Windows\System32\libjack.dll
C:\Windows\System32\libjackserver.dll
These are in addition to their 64-bit counterparts which get installed
here:-
C:\Windows\libjack64.dll
C:\Windows\libjackserver64.dll
I think it's those 32-bit components which cause Windows to offer the
32-bit install location (C:\Program Files (x86)\Jack) instead of the
more traditional C:\Program Files\Jack
Having said that... the installer for v1.9.10 seems to be the same - so
maybe it's intentional?
