I know close to nothing about Windows, but I expect this has nothing to
do with Emacs itself but instead it's a feature of the OS, where
%ProgramFiles% returns "C:\Program Files" when running a 64bit program
and "C:\Program Files (x86)" when running a 32bit program (and
apparently your Emacs was compiled as a 32bit program).
