Actually not.  Even the 64 bit installer only installs 32 bit components,
this is mostly because the java bytecode neither knows or cares about the
architecture it runs under.  But it's also a little bit to do to the extreme
interactions between the Service API (which, obviously bit-width dependant)
and the procrun API (which is bit-width neutral for its configuration needs
to be distinguished depending on which version (64/32 bit) of java.dll it
calls).    The shibd_idpw.exe is a 32 bit executable only.

But as Scott said the where of the Jetty installed is an implementation
details you mustn't care about (we would not consider moving its location as
requiring any documentation).

Where the Shibboleth Install goes is under your choice (and it defaults to
the 32 bit tree).

Finally it is impossible to install 32 bit on 64 or vice versa
