Actually the first time I stepped onto this (Notes installation, in fact;
which we could never get to work) it reminded me a lot of the Windows
SysWOW64 mess.

For those that do not know:

32 bit: C:\WINDOWS\system32

64 bit: C:\WINDOWS\system32
32 on 64 bit: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 + the 32 bit software sees that folder as
C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Argh.
