 Correct summary!

Well, I understand that the IDE may be a 64 bit application, what I
was wondering about was the target of the build. But I see tha it is a
Win32 application so thta should be OK.

I do not understand. I installed Lazarus a week ago from the latest
release and it also included the latest fpc. This should be able to
create a 32 bit application irrespecxtive of in which Windows it is
installed (32/64 bit)....

And I cannot provide the full source because it contains proprietary
key information for encrypting the data in the dongle.
