The x64 update downloads and starts, but then the installer halts with an error, saying another version is installed and I should correct the problem.

Same here. So I uninstalled x86 version and then x64 version installed properly.

I re-downloaded and tried running the x64 .exe file version installation over the x86 versions already installed. Same problem, setup errors with message stating another version installed, correct problem, etc. So no change here.

However I tried the same procedure using the x64 .msi file version, and this succeeded. It both installed the x64 ConnKit (w/no info loss) and properly removed the x86 version that was there before.

So, there is some subtle difference between the .exe and .msi versions of the x64 ConnKit installers.

Also, neither the ConnKit or the Prime Virtual Calculator programs report if they are x86 or x64 versions in their About... screens, and probably should. Of course one can tell by examining the installed path, but I'd presume the support folks would appreciate having that available from the About info. screen for less savvy users.
