Windows 64-bit builds

[Matthias Rebbe]

Am very interested in 64bit Windows standalones, but cannot see that option in Standalone Settings in my LC 9.0.2 on Mac OS X.
In what LC version do you see that option?

Btw, when the Mac OS X 64-bit option was still experimental i used it a lot and did not run into any problem with my apps.

She's been running the same app all this time, but a while back she lost the ability to run it on her OS X Mac at home (the app was built for OS 9) so she wants it updated for OS X. The ancient Windows app still runs on her Windows 10 box at work.
