The (x86) variant is where 32 bit applications live. The "plain" directory contains 64 bit apps. It's a pretty good bet that the OP's application is 32 bit.

    Well the machine that I saw this on is a Win XP laptop! No 64 bit here! By definition, all apps are 32 bit. I was just wondering if there is some path mismatch between a newer version that installs to the (x86) directory and an older installation that installed into the "plain" directory. I am quite sure that you are correct about 64 bit installations on a 64 bit machine. But I am also sure that in the pre-64 bit era the same thing happened. This (x86) thing is new.
