I faced this same issue on IA 2012. This is my thoughts on the issue for anyone curious. I have not thoroughly tested this theory yet so it may not be correct, but it makes sense to me: I bundle a 32-bit VM with my windows installers (choosing 'with VM'). If you also select for this VM to be installed on the system (under Project->JVM settings), then this works fine because the uninstaller uses the exact same VM the installer used. If you bundle a 32-bit VM, then the uninstaller will always use that 32-bit VM. If you do not select to install the bundled VM, then the bundled VM is only used during installation and is then deleted. That means the uninstaller will have to search the machine for a jre to use. IA assumes that if you package a 32-bit VM, then the uninstaller will use a 32-bit VM as well and therefore does not need the 64-bit dll. This is the wrong assumption as a 32-bit installer run on a 64-bit machine could use a 64-bit jre. This is why you need to manually add the 64-bit dll to your install section.

I am creating a Custom Code Panel and would like for it to be used in any Installanywhere project I create. The problem I am having is I would like to be able to populate a Text Area with whatever I want, whether it be a single line or multiple lines. I also would like to use as many of these Custom Code Panels as I want in a given project. Essentially my Custom Code Panel should emulate a Scrolling Panel with a couple of tweaks. I would think the best way to achieve this is to just read an IA variable and display its contents in a Text Area (inside a scroll pane). The only problem with that approach is: how do I set an IA variable to a multi-lined message? I dont want to have to create a unique Custom Code Panel for every unique message I want displayed. I could have the Panel read its message from a file, but then I would have a ton of text files to keep track of and install. What would be nice is if you could create your own Custom Panel templates right inside IA's advanced designer and add it to the panel tab in the "Add Action" toolbar. That way you could add a text area for you to type in a message just like the "Scrolling Message Panel" has.
