Close XY64 to update XY32
Is there a reason that a XY64 instance needs to be closed to update XY32, even though I set them up with separate data folders?

Do you mean because the installer says so? No, that's not necessary. I'll change the wording.

Re: Close XY64 to update XY32
Even with only XY64 active when updating XY32 it shows the usual message to close all XY instances before proceeding.
I have to admit though, I never tested whether it causes any further problems if I just ignore the message.
Edit: Ok, just tested this with the latest XY32 update (1006) while XY64 was still active and it worked
Plus the re-worded message stating to close 32bit instances helps to avoid future confusion.
