KFW 3.0 cannot work with 64-bit Windows without crashing.
Microsoft failed to implement 32-bit versions of the LSA credential
cache functionality.  Any attempt to probe the LSA cache from a 32-bit
application will result in uninitialized memory being returned to the
caller.

Microsoft has advised that they will not add support for 32-bit
applications until Vista ships.
