There's a separate install archive for 64 bit machines from the one for
32 bit machines. It combines some 32 bit and some 64 bit binaries. It's
been tested on 64 bit machines. The current, publicly accessible 32 bit
archive should not be used on 64 bit machines as it most likely won't
work.
I have instructions and an installer for the 64 bit version ready but
they're not public yet. I can make these available tomorrow if you tell
me who should get them.
