Supersedence Part 1

Now that we have created our 32 and 64 bit 7-Zip application using version 1604. We need to repeat those steps with the latest version of 7-Zip and create one application and two deployment types.

In our previous office scenario, we had 100 computers, 50 computers running Windows 10 64- bit O/S and 50 computers running Windows 10 32-bit O/S.
