It *is* possible to get the MCE application to install under x64, with a
little hard work ;).
In a screenshot that I took for an article on Extended64.com, I have the MCE
app in the recent programs area of my start menu:

Of course, it will be running as a 32-bit process under the .NET 1.1
Framework, but it's better then nothing. If you want to use the MCE App for
TV, an x64 supported TV Tuner (which also works under MCE) is required; and
that could be a problem right now.
