invoke 64-bit wscript.exe in post-build event?

Hey,

I am using Visual Studio to build some x64 projects on a machine running
64-bit Windows (XP). In the post-build event for one project in particular,
I am invoking a .vbs file that needs to look up some information in the
Windows registry, and, specifically, the 64-bit registry. However, Visual
Studio, or whatever subcomponent is invoking wscript.exe, is evidently
invoking the 32-bit wscript.exe, so when I call RegRead in my .vbs file, it
gets redirected to the Wow6432Node (this is HKLM\Software). I would guess
for it to be able to find 64-bit keys, I would have to somehow convince
Visual Studio to invoke the 64-bit version of wscript.exe. I suppose Visual
Studio is just doing a ShellExecute on my .vbs file. Do you suppose there is
a way to make it use the 64-bit wscript.exe?

Thanks.
.
