Will the launcher be fixed so it installs the 64bit version in the 64bit Program Files folder?

According to this support article the launcher was altered at some point before May last year so that it sustained 32bit operating system compatibility, but in doing so this means it installs the 64bit version of the launcher that it downloads when updating into the 32bit Program Files (x86) folder as well.

I’m just wondering if this is ever going to be fixed? I know it doesn’t cause any major problems (though it does cause some) but, it’s still an issue (as evidenced by that support article calling it as such) and I would prefer if my 64bit programs stayed in the 64bit Program Folder. Best coding practices and all that. Ta.
