I just want to know if you are installing Qgis via OSGeo installer on a windows 64 bits OS (XP, vista or 7) Does it install a 32 bits or 64 bits version of QGIS?

Usually the stand alone installer installs a 32 bits version, so I want to use the full potential of my new computer (win 7 64 bits, 16 Mb of Ram)....

Thanks

No idea, but I have it (and QGis 1.8) installed on my X64 Win7 and everything works just fine. – shawty Aug 21 '12 at 20:05

64-bit support has to be compiled separately against 64-bit librarys. Currently, there are no 64-bit packages in the osgeo4w Installer list. The 32bit version runs fine with Windows 7.
