I have the 32 and 64 bit versions of Processing installed and export from these to have both versions.

_It does clearly state what target platform you are exporting to in the window_.

I have not done this in a while but did come across this issue at one time.

I did find this:

> **[Exporting Applications](https://happycoding.io/tutorials/processing/exporting-applications)**
>
> Share your programs with other people.

[https://processing.org/reference/environment/#Export](https://processing.org/reference/environment/#Export)

Following the links it states:

> **We strongly recommended that you embed Java with your application.** Not including it opens a pandora’s box of problems that can happen when people try to run your project.
