Install XFX 1&2 Plugins both 64bit and 32Bit

Built new PC computer, installed XFX1 & 2 64bit Plugins (from Sound Forge Pro 18), but also need to install 32bit versions to run in an older 32bit DAW on same machine (for archiving/remixing older Edit lists). I also have older versions of Sound Forge Pro that had 32bit XFX1&2 version. How do I install the 32bit versions without messing up the current 64bit versions? Do the current versions also come in 32bit? Or do I need to install an older version of Sound Forge that has the 32bit versions? What is the best way to have 32bit and 64bit XFX 1 & 2 on the same machine?

Hi @CaptainCarl, I am not aware of a x86 (32 bit) version of Sound Forge Pro 18. All the previous Magix versions had both x32 and x86 though. If both were installed (on the same PC) they shared a lot of the settings and did not count as an additional activation.
Unfortunately, the 64 bit versions SF-16 & 17 had issues with the display of most third-party 32 bit VST 2 plug-ins, so adjustment parameters could not be accessed. This was (partially) resolved in SFP-18. FWIW, Vegas 21 has the same issue with third-party 32 bit VST 2 plug-ins so I need to use an older version for most audio work.
