[Mozilla Enterprise] 32-bit to 64-bit Help

FWIW, Chrome x64 also installs itself under Program Files (x86). I'm ok with this logic; it does make things a little simpler for admins if 32->64 or vice versa migrations happen in the enterprise and paths don't change.

 I believe that's what our own 32-->64 migrations do for automatic updates.

May be bad form, but I don't think there's anything technically stopping you from installing 64-bit Firefox into "Program Files (x86)" and just letting the shortcuts continue to point there.

So I have my ESR 60 (64-bit) configuration ready, but I'm struggling with how to deploy to computers with ESR 52 (32-bit) on Windows 10.

By default, it leaves ESR 52 installed.  So I added an uninstall command at the beginning of my install script.

The Start Menu and Taskbar pins are broken.  For the Start Menu pin, a workaround was to rename/copy the shortcut "Firefox.lnk" to "Mozilla Firefox.lnk".  The taskbar pin I'm stumped.  It disappears from all profiles, assumedly because the path changed from "Program Files (x86)" to "Program Files".  I can't think of any good workarounds for this...

How is everyone else handling this?
