Newsid and Windows 2008 64 bits

When running newsid.exe on a Windows 2008 Server 64 Bits system, newsid hangs when updating system registry and the application stops responding.

To solve this issue start the following from a command prompt :

REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Wow6432Node /f

Restart Newsid.exe and it will succesfully run.

This issue has been solved in Windows 2008 RC2 x64.
