You will receive an error message if you try to use the wrong version. You must use the 32-bit version for 32-bit applications and the 64-bit version to work for 64-bit applications. The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) installs a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the Compatibility Administrator.
