Walter,

Most likely, there is indeed a problem with your system installation.
You likely have the 32-bit (x86) version of Vista installed, not the x64
version. On the 32-bit windows, the AMD64 mode of the processor is not
available, and 64-bit windows binaries cannot run on that system.

HTH,
Martin
