Looks like the 64-bit OS you're testing with is missing the 32-bit
Visual C runtime(s). Also, 32-bit programs on a 64-bit install of
Windows belong in \Program Files (x86), not \Program Files. A 32-bit
installer will be directed to the correct directory when trying to
access %ProgramFiles%; a 64-bit installer will not.
