Does InstallShield Limited Edition support a 64-bit installer?

I was just starting to learn InstallShield LE because it seems to be the only officially supported installer project. But I have one simple question: I can’t even get an absolute answer: Does ISLE support the creation of a 64-bit installer? I ask because I have found at least two messages stating that this is not possible, like this one: Replacing VS projects with the troubled Installshield Limited Edition . However, I cannot get (negative or positive) confirmation from the flexera website. They don’t even have a forum for the LE version. Can anyone confirm this? Thank!

InstallShield Limited Edition does not currently support 64-bit installations. This is described in the installed documentation in the topic of upgrading to other versions of InstallShield. This is also implied in the online document "Does InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio 2010 Meet All Your Installation Requirements?" which mentions “Support for 64-bit COM extraction” is not included in the limited version (this is just one of many aspects of 64-bit installations).
