Standalone: Install with GUI on AIX

The bit architecture of the installation program uses:

• The bit architecture of the operating system
• The bit architecture of the existing WebSphere Application Server

When you install onto a 64-bit operating system, WebSphere Portal installs as a 64-bit version. We can force a 32-bit application installation onto a 64-bit operating system.
