            Bug ID: 124936
           Summary: Help->About LibreOffice dialog does not specify
                    whether 32 or 64 bit is installed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: casapr at jumplink.org

Description:
On 64 bit (windows; but issue may also exist on linux/unix) either 32 or 64 bit
versions of LibreOffice can be installed.  Once installed they generally run
the same with no observable difference by the user.

If a person is looking to update/upgrade what is already installed (perhaps
installed by a different person and thus unknown whether they installed 32 or
64), or simply determine what they have for information purposes, it is logical
that they would go to the HELP->ABOUT LIBREOFFICE dialog which is available
from all programs.  That dialog returns information such as this:
======
Version: 6.1.4.2
Build ID: 9d0f32d1f0b509096fd65e0d4bec26ddd1938fd3
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL
======
You will notice, however, that it does not specify whether 32 or 64 bit is
installed on the machine.  Therefore, for example, if a person is trying to
upgrade their machine/version (with a manual download from the website) they
will not know or be able to determine whether to get the x82 or x86_64 download
version.

PROBLEM: The about dialog (which is where this info should be shown) doesn't
tell a user whether 32 or 64 bit version is installed.

SOLUTION: add text specifying whether 32 or 64 bit is present.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open HELP->ABOUT LIBREOFFICE dialog in any program
2.Try to figure out whether 32 or 64 bit version is installed. Can't
3.

Actual Results:
see above

Expected Results:
Dialog should tell user whether 32 or 64 bit version of program is installed on
computer.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
