dbpoweramp onWindows 11: turn to 64 bit

[hopalong]

How can I turn dbpoweramp to 64 bit, retaining my 32 bit settings on Windows 11 ?

Is a step by step guide available?

Uninstall dBpoweramp fully, install the 64 bit version and most settings should be preserved.

How can I Uninstall dBpoweramp fully?

I found these possibilities to uninstall:

Uninstall from Apps - Installed Apps
or
Uninstall from Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features,
one by one each dBpoweramp component (I have 16 listed)

or
run C:\Program Files (x86)\SpoonUninstall\SpoonUninstall.exe
The SpoonUninstall folder contains 12 codec .dat files and 6 .exe files in addition to SpoonUninstall.exe

Previously I installed dBRefMusic-2025-07-21==C1D0861C=ADA14604.exe

Do you actually run dbpa in 32bit at all? Did you force the installation process to setup the 32bit version previously?

Yes, I use it for music files, normalize, convert mostly.

What is the purpose of your question?

I wouldn't pay for it if I didn't use it.

The standard installation has setup a 64 bit version for years already. There have been only a few scenarios where a 32 bit setup were recommended or necessary.

My first dBpoweramp version was Power Pack & Mp3 Encoder, which I bought in 2005, and it was 32-bit.
Then, after a while, a 64-bit version became available, and I found a note in my records from 2014 about the dual installer, right shift for installing the 32-bit version.
This has now been discontinued with the 2025-11-12 version.

I didn't switch to the 64-bit version because the 32-bit version suited me perfectly, and I wanted to avoid the transition tasks, which I still don't have enough/accurate knowledge about.

In any case, I'm still waiting to see if anyone can provide more specific information on "How can I uninstall dBpoweramp fully?"
