   If I could chip in - I tried compiling as a 32-bit windows exe and AFAICS it was fine. I believe that a 32-bit parent can spawn a 64-bit child process and vice versa, so either type of stub would be able to start the JVM which runs NBI itself. However if the user were using 32-bit Windows then a 64-bit stub would not work for them. I know Windows 11 is 64-bit only but there are probably Windows 10 and earlier users with 32 bit installations. 
   Which is a round-about way of saying the stub should be 32-bit, unless there's another reason I've not understood!
