What CC Applications are still only 32-bit?

Is there some way to determine whether a given Creative Cloud application is still only 32-bit?  I mean other than creating a 64-bit package and looking to see if it installs to Program Files or Program Files (x86)?  That's what I've been doing, but I've since discovered after re-packaging Photoshop and installing it on a test system, that it's now available as 64-bit application.  Can I get notified of changes like this?

    Hi JPT,

    Talking about Windows for all tools – and the universal Adobe CC installers contain both versions where applicable...

    Available as either 64-bit or 32-bit applications:

    Photoshop CC

    Bridge CC

    Illustrator CC

    InDesign CC

    InCopy CC

    Lightroom 5

    Available in 64-bit only:

    Flash Pro CC

    Premiere Pro CC

    After Effects CC

    Audition CC

    Prelude CC

    SpeedGrade CC

    Available in 32-bit only:

    Dreamweaver CC

    Muse CC

    Edge Animate CC

    Edge Code CC

    Edge Inspect CC

    Edge Reflow CC

    Acrobat XI Pro/Std

    On Mac OS it's mostly the same, except Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom require a 64-bit system and don't offer a 32-bit option.

    Hi jpt65,

    Which desktop applications in Creative Cloud require 64-bit operating systems?

    With the new CC apps, most of the pro video and audio applications now require 64-bit operating systems to run. These native 64-bit applications include Adobe Premiere® Pro CC, Adobe Audition® CC, After Effects® CC, Prelude® CC, and SpeedGrade® CC. Photoshop CC and Lightroom® also require 64-bit on Mac OS.

    By optimizing code for 64-bit operating systems, Adobe is able to deliver the performance gains that creative professionals require. Most of Adobe's pro video applications now require a 64-bit operating system, but the majority of video professionals have already transitioned to 64-bit capable systems, such as Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or v10.8 (Mountain Lion), or 64-bit versions of Microsoft® Windows® 7 or Windows 8. Because 64-bit operating systems offer superior performance, current and future releases of most of the Adobe professional video and audio applications will not support 32-bit operating systems.
