If you intend to upgrade your environment to a 64-bit architecture, while continuing to use your 32-bit implementation (using, for example, ASP.NET 1.1 SP1, which does not support 64-bit operations), install a 32-bit JRE or JDK in your 64-bit Content Delivery environment. The Content Delivery installer will then take care of setting up the appropriate options on the system to accommodate this scenario.
