Where to get the 64-bit client?

Hi all,
I would like to download the 64-bit client many people mention here, but what the download page offers me is only the x86 client (wcg_boinc_6.2.28_windows_intelx86.exe). This client is 32-bit and is installed to "32 bit" Program Files directory called "Program Files (x86)\BOINC". No 64-bit equivalent of the client is installed into the "64 bit" Program Files directory, named "Program Files". Can you please provide me with a link to download 64-bit client? Many thanks in advance.

Re: Where to get the 64-bit client?

FAQ Index item added in the software section (#3)... after all if your jobs run faster on an 64 bit operating system, why not use the appropriately compiled client to allow the use of the faster system libraries... makes HCC run a whole lot faster.

:D

Re: Where to get the 64-bit client?

After installing 64bit client i can't connect because :

06/02/2010 11:32:19 This computer is not attached to any projects
06/02/2010 11:32:19 Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu for instructions
06/02/2010 11:33:43 Fetching configuration file from http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/get_project_config.php
06/02/2010 11:34:04 Contacting account manager at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
06/02/2010 11:34:05 Account manager error: file not found

It seems not all projects are compatible with account managers
World Community Grid does not support updating preferences through an account manager. On site profile changing remains needed.

Re: Where to get the 64-bit client?

In the BOINC manager, have you pressed the "Add project" button and added WCG from there?
