   Thank you for your suggestion.

   This is actually a known issue inherited from Google Japanese Input, and for now we'd like to keep the current configuration to minimize the diff between Google Japanese Input and OSS Mozc.

   The thing is that the following executables are still 32-bit even if you install Mozc64.msi.

   • mozc_tool.exe
   • mozc_ja_tip32.dll
   • msvcp140.dll
   • vcruntime140.dll
   • Qt5Core.dll
   • Qt5Gui.dll
   • Qt5Widgets.dll
   • platforms/qwindows.dll

   So for those binaries, the location %ProgramFiles(x86)%/Mozc is indeed consistent.

   I know it looks a bit strange, but given that there is no user visible impact I'd like to keep the current installation location until Google Japanese Input also starts using new installation location, which may require careful migration strategy for existing users.
