Description
Hi,
under Vista64 we find two Program Files-Folders:
- Program Files
- Program Files (x86)
The help file suggests
@SystemDrive & "\Program Files(x86)"
But: The Macro @SystemDrive does not exist and there is a space missing before the "(x86).
Funny thing: When pressing F5, Scite launches the X86 Version from AutoIt (at least, I think so), because @programdir resolves to the x86 version.
If the .au3 script is started from the explorer, the x64 version is used and fails to find the program the script should launches.

I did complete test under Vista64 and everything works as expected.
The reason why is Scite only launch the X86 version is because Scite is a 32-bit process

Replying to Marc:
You do not state where this is in the documentation but I found it none-the-less. I've fixed what you mention and a couple other issues. It no longer contains the mis-leading non-existent macro.
Hmm, is your Explorer the 64-bit version? If so, it's probably looking in "Program Files" which is where 64-bit binaries go. Since AutoIt installs the 64-bit binaries along-side the 32-bit binaries via a 32-bit installer everything goes into the "Program Files (x86)" folder. This sounds like a problem with how our installer sets things up, however.
