Did a check with the CygWin file command:
D:\Engineering\Projects\Lazarus\LazDongle>file dongletest.exe
dongletest.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

Seems like my Lazarus produces 32 bit executables by default...

I downloaded and installed from this file:
lazarus-1.4.0-fpc-2.6.4-win32.exe
It was downloaded from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/

That is what I have already...
