[Paraview] Paraview 3.4 Win64 nit pick

This issue...http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=6363
...covers CPack created packages for Win64 defaulting to the wrong "Program
Files" directory. After that bug is fixed, and the next ParaView Win64
installer is built with a fixed version of CPack, ParaView's installer
should automatically choose the correct default.
For now, just make sure you put it in "C:\Program Files" so nobody gets
confused. It should still work from the "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory,
it's just violating the convention and has the same default location that
the 32-bit ParaView has... so if you install both, put the 32-bit one in the
"(x86)" folder, and the 64-bit one in the regular folder.
HTH,
David
