6.01 x64 Problem

x86 keeps installing

Yesterday evening I've spent all evening trying to get the latest WindowBlinds version to work on my computer at home and to prevent that from continueing when I get home tonight I figured I'd see if anyone recognizes this problem.

Every time I install it and try to launch it I get an error saying that version doesn't support Windows XP x64 or something along those lines (I can't recall the precise phrasing).
Then at one point I remembered my virus scanner (NOD32) could scan inside most installer packages so I might be able to use it's scan log to determine what files were inside.

To my surprise there were mentions of some files like wblind64.dll, wbload64.dll, WBInstall64.exe and more I can't remember in the scan log.
So, obviously, these files are included in the setup program.
No matter what I try though, only their 32-bit equivalents ever show up in the program directory after installation.

My home computer's OS is Windows XP Pro x64 with SP2 (build 3790 I believe).
If anyone knows what might be causing this problem any help would be greatly appreciated, since I don't have enough time until christmas to thoroughly look into it myself.

Thanks in advance,
Lars

the trial version of WB6 does not have support for WindowsXP 64 bit. the retail version does. you may as well purchase it because you're going to love it!

The 64 bit files in the installer are for Vista 64 bit not XP 64 bit.

As Snidely Whiplash says, the trial of 6.01 does not support 64 bit XP, but the paid for version does.
