I have seen a few instances of this on the list. I think a good deal
of them were either a botched compiler install or a permissions
problem.

The 32 bit version works fine for win64. You can get the source and
build a 64 bit cmake however that does not really give you anything
more than the 32 bit version does. Its not like you need 4GB of ram to
create your projects.
