Yes!  Bob Parker has a Windows version of our converter working, for  
64-bit WinXp too.

I'm not positive whether anyone tried using the 32-bit plugin with 64- 
bit Pro/E, but it shouldn't be necessary (and not likely helpful).   
We have a version working 64-bit for ARL modelers, but obviously  
haven't made any public Pro/E releases yet.  One of the issues from a  
release management perspective is that the versions used by ARL  
modelers are almost never public release revisions as they're  
constantly in development being tweaked for their needs.  They  
generally use developer revisions (e.g., 7.16.9 instead of 7.16.10)  
so there's no guarantee that it won't blow up your computer.  The  
public releases at least guarantee that no baby seals were harmed  
during production.

Cheers!
