[AccessD] Error trying to install MzTools

If something won't run on 64bit that did run in 32bit, it usually means that it relies on some 
*old* 16 bit component such as a DLL that hasn't been updated for many years - or it may be 
something that previously  ran under WOW32 ( an old 16 bit Win98 application?).

Any straight 32bit application should run seamlessly on Win64 through the WOW64 
sub-system.

However if it uses its own specific 32 bit kernel mode drivers, that is a different matter.
