Is it possible to install 64-bit MATLAB Compiler Runtime(MCR) from MATLAB Compiler 4.11 (R2009b) on 32-bit machines?

I am trying to install the MATLAB Compiler Runtime(MCR) on my client's machine for deploying an application. I have 64-bit version of MATLAB Compiler but my client's machines are all 32-bit machines. The MCR Installation process goes through some of the steps, but finally it gives an error message in the Windows Installer dialog box which says:

 This installation package is not supported with this processor type. Contact your reseller.

It is not possible to install 64-bit MATLAB Compiler Runtime(MCR) on 32-bit machines.

To work around this issue, create an application using 32-bit version of MATLAB and MATLAB Compiler if the deployment machine is a 32-bit machine.

It is possible to have a 32 bit MATLAB and a 64 bit MATLAB running on the same 64 bit machine. There is no need to uninstall 64 bit MATLAB and then re-install 32 bit MATLAB.
