Windows Vista installing Adminpak for windows 2003

Ok, after looking at the http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/930056 article, and installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932246, I kept noticing that no matter what I did my 64 bit Vista would not run any of the mmc snapins provided.

So after a while, I realized that while the script i was running specified in kb930056 was using regsvr32, it was not using the correct one. There are two regsvr32s in 64 bit windows, one in the system32 folder (which is really the 64 bit one) and one in the syswow64 folder(which is the 32 bit one). Once i modified the script to run the 32bit regsvr32 in the syswow64 folder everything worked. Microsoft should have probably documented this, I wonder if they even consider 64bit as a major platform yet.
