You're right, I notice it did install it in the ProgramFiles(x86) directory. However, there is no Chrome folder in the ProgramFiles directory at all.Why Chrome 64 bit installed in ProgramFiles(x86) directory? It's not 64 bit Chrome in this directory and you copied wrong dll.
C:\ProgramFiles\ is the directory for 64 bit applications in Windows system
As demonstrated in the video, I installed a new copy of Chrome 64-bit, and I opened it in the video to show the version was truly x64. That Browser which appears in the video was launched from the Chrome folder in the ProgramFiles(x86) directory. The .dll file that I copied also showed a sub-directory path of x64 in that Chrome folder.
So I have no clue as to why the installation process dumped the Chrome install in the ProgramFiles(x86) folder. Chrome does not exist in any other directory outside of that folder. I've also done a search for widevine.dll file in the entire C: drive, and it only appears in that single Chrome folder which appears in the ProgramFiles(x86) folder.
That said, any ideas why the file is installed in that directory? As you can confirm, I clearly installed Chrome x64 version and verified the version number in the "About" page after I opened it.
FYI - I also ran a test using the .dll file that you offered in this thread. So this test was run with both the .dll file that appeared on my computer and the .dll file that you offered in the zippped file in your previous post.
Here is Google's answer about why it installs Chrome in ProgramFiles(x86) folder. Apparently, they claim this is intentional -
