My question(s) is this: What code is the architecture test protecting? Is there something used by the patch checking plugins that does not run correctly or gives incorrect responses if run against a 64bit system? Can Nessus be safe and reliable when used for patch checking against 64bit Windows targets?
Nessus only supports local patch checks (MS patches) against Vista and 2008 on a 64bit system. Current 32 bit checks can not be used against 64bit XP/2003 because file version numbers are, most of the time, totally different.
