RealPlayer update

I have RealPlayer installed in x64, and it works. In view of the latest
batch of security problems in RealPlayer, I tried to update it, however
it only lists addons, not the security update which you see if I do the
same on a normal XP. I downloaded RealPlayer again, and this says it
won't install on x64.

On x64, About says V 10.5 and build 6.0.12.1235, and on 32-bit XP (after
the update) it says V10.5 and build 6.0.12.1483.

Leaving aside Real's lack of logic in preventing a newer update
installing on x64 when an older one works, has anyone managed to get the
latest batch of RealPlayer updates installed on x64? (And if so, how?)

Graham.

Well, that's not actually up to date unless 1465 is a typo since 1483 is
newer!

If it isn't a typo, somewhere between 1465 and 1483, Real have
concisouly decided to prevent installation on x64.
