Microsoft forefront and Windows 7 installation failure

I receive the following error after attempting to install forefront security client on a windows 7 pro x64 workstation

2009-10-23 21:35:57  Microsoft Forefront Client Security (1.0.1703.0) -- Installation started
2009-10-23 21:35:57  This 32-bit version of ClientSetup.exe is not supported on 64-bit systems.
2009-10-23 21:35:57  Microsoft Forefront Client Security -- Installation failed.

Tried installing from a administration command promt using e:\client\x64\clientsetup /nomom

I think your post is self-answering. I got a lot of that with my Vista 64-bit machine and had to replace almost all of my software. That is what you will probably have to do here. .. Thinkpads_User

I felt kind of silly posting this when the error says 32bit version not supported on 64 bit system., but I can only find 1 choice for download and post that say it works on 64 bit machines if you install from elevated command line. And the Microsoft system requirements say x64 and windows 7 pro are supported for client.  
I don't know the particular application you are trying to install. Normally if is says it works in 64-bit, it either installs in Program Files (X86) because it is 32-bit or Program Files (because it is 32-bit). If it will not install in either place (not uncommon in 64-bit machines) that means it is not compliant. You will probably have to contact Microsoft. ... Thinkpads_User

Go to the ?:\CLIENT\X64 directory of the CD and use the c"lientsetup.exe /NOMOM" command from that place.

I encountered the same problem with the 1703 ISO Build.
Turns out I was not running on the elevated Administrator command prompt. clientsetup /nomo installed ok from the X64 folder once I runas admin.
