The only definitive statement I can find is, "The Workgroup Manager client uses the Internet Explorer version that is installed on the client machine."  (See page 7.)

The workgroup manager only lets you choose between the bundled Mozilla browser and the currently installed version of Internet Explorer.  It does not let you choose which version of Internet Explorer will start up (32 bit or 64 bit).

How are you determining which bit version the embedded browser is actually using?

Many thanks for your reply. We are using the IE 32bit on the client machine, thats perfectly working well. But my question is with in the WGM , the browser should also work with IE 32 bit but its not. I don't know how to set this within the WGM. But I have set in the wgmclient.ini windows.browser.type: ie_in_process that is work well on the client machine. Within the work group manager the embedded browser is act as 64 bit. Do you have any idea how can I change this browser type? I should change only IE 32 bit because some of our security software compatible only IE 32 bit.

I really don't think this is changeable within the workgroup manager.  I think it's more a function of how the operating system is setup.  I've opened a case with PTC to try to get more information.  I'll let you know what they say.
