Ok, from memory, which is jetlagged, an starting to wear out. But I believe 64-bit applications are registered in a different registry key than 32 bit applications. Sms 2003 collects add/remove programs from the 32 bit key only by default IIRC. We are not that advanced over here in Europe, so I don't have a 64 bit server to verify my ramblings.

16 bit machines do use the same registry key though ;-)
