when you download the installer from our site, it asks which version do you want to download. See attached image.

I definitely picked 64-Bit.

Filename: nXt10_en-us_Beta_x64_20120307_1306.msi

I have the same issue. Should we just choose a different install location?

I am wondering if this issue will solve the Bongo and Render Farm problems I'm having.

Other than these issues, loving the program.

This is normal.  The newer installers will install everything in the (x86) directories.  This is because Flamingo supports both Rhino 4 (32-bit) and Rhino 5 (32 and 64 bit).  In order to support all combinations of Rhino 4 and 5 without duplicate program files littered about the hard drive, we are installing in the x86 directory.  Even though it is in x86, it can still run true 64-bit.
