Take care, `AS 4.12.6` requires a complete removal of the `AS 4.12.5` version and it re-installs everything into `C:\Program Files\BRAutomation4` for some reason (there is no option anymore in the setup to chose another path) which causes a re-compile of all of my projects.

Why got the path changed?  
In my opinion the installation path should not get changed within the same minor releases.

Independed from that, `C:\Program Files` is meant for 64-bit software installations, `C:\Program Files (x86)` is meant for 32-bit software which AS actually is.  
Not sure why it ended up in there in general.
