CREATED ISSUE: Does not work on Vista 64-bit systems.

Hi the Assembly VSSConverter has been compiled for 32 bit only. The VSSConverter EXE was compiled for "Any CPU". On a 64 bit system an exe compiled for Any CPU will be loaded into a 64 bit .NET processes. When the system tryes to load any 32 bit only assembly you get an "Bad Format Error".

If you set you exe to x86 (32-bit) then a 64 bit system will load the EXE into a 32-bit process automaticly.
