Windows packaging embeds 32bit Java, and it makes process management malfunctional on 64bit systems

    Description

      We offer only a single Windows package for 32 bits, but there are known issues when 32bit Java is used on 64bit machines. E.g. WinP (and hence the core) cannot terminate processes correctly: https://github.com/kohsuke/winp#platform-support

      So Windows packaging is bogus OOTB. I propose two options:

      • Offer separate packaging for 32bit and 64bit versions
      • Deprecate 32bit packaging and ship 64bit only
