Does VMware Workstation 7 have a 64bit installer?

There's only a single binary of VMware Workstation, which supports both 32 and 64-bit hosts (even though it gets installed in "Program Files (x86)" on Windows x64).
The vmware.exe process is just the front-end and it's always 32-bit, but the actual virtual machines (vmware-vmx.exe) are 64-bit on 64-bit hosts.

I downloaded Workstation 7.0, build 203739 from vmware.com, which says it's for 32bit or 64bit operating systems.
When I installed it, it installed automatically to the
Program Files(x86)
folder of my Windows XPx64 system, and the task manager shows it asvmware.exe(32)
.So, my questions is, does the VMware Workstation program come in 64 bit version?
