Re: xsi 32 bit won't run on win64 anymore

[Guy Rabiller <guy.rabiller(at)tek2shoot.com>]

Hey Kris,

Remember though, that we are still not sure if the problem was caused by 
a Windows update or a Nod update ( or both ).

What we are sure is that this was working perfectly well prior this ( 
these ? ) update(s), without the need to exclude XSI/XSIBatch from the 
Nod scan.

We shouldn't have to do this. Perhaps a Nod update is now needed to sync 
it with some recent Windows update. I've not seen any mention of this 
kind of problem on their forum though. Odd.
