Workstation Pro 64bit? (newbie question)

[Sptz1]

Hi everyone,

I'm trialling Workstation Pro on Windows 11 and noticed that not only was it installed in Program Files (x86) and that some of its processes are indeed in 32 bit. Is this expected? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything, I noticed a few components are flagged as x64 but others at x86. Screens below:

And, last question, I also noticed that VMware Player was installed? Is that expected? I thought they were distinct products?

Thanks!

The system-level files - virtual machine monitor, device drivers, etc. - are all 64-bit processes.  The UI and a few other parts are 32-bit processes.  This is correct and expected.

The Player UI has always been included along with the full Workstation UI.  Also expected.
