Assuming a Win7 file layout, if there was a %LOCALAPPDATA%\stellarium\stars\def ault it could work for both 32 and 64 bit.

The 64 bit version should better cope with the big catalogs.
All the stars load for me in both versions. Star catalogues 4-8 should be in \users\yourname\appdata\roaming\ste llarium\stars\default.

If they don't load the option to load the extra catalogues should still be in the configure menu.

By the way I checked the speeds. On my laptop the 64 bit version is twice as fast as the 32 bit version (win-7 home premium). on the PC the speeds are the same (win-7 ultimate).

PS before I fixed up permissions Stellarium install would not write to the user area.
