Comment:

 Great so not an issue with the installer. What a relief.  Though I still
 would like to prevent such a thing from happening at least not to show
 both the 32-bit and 64-bit if you picked the PostgreSQL 64-bit port
 install.  I asked EDB folks about this a while back they said technically
 since a 32-bit software can be installed on a 64-bit OS, the way the
 application builder works, it has to show both as options. So people who
 are only on 32-bit only ever see the 32-bit option (but sadly 64-bit
 people see both regardless which version of PostgreSQL they picked). :)

 For future I may minimize this by just always overwriting the
 libxml2-2.dll for 64-bit install.  As I recall, I think it might only be
 for the 32-bit where they sometimes package libxml2-2.dll and sometimes
 they don't.  The main reason I don't overwrite is if they do have a
 liblxml2-2.dll, means they are linking with that name and their libxml
 version has more stuff compiled in than what I bother with including with
 PostGIS, so PostGIS will work with their version, but their version may
 not work with what I ship.
