Hi Bengt, this strongly depends if the corresponding 64 bit service wrapper is available at a ASF friendly license. AFAIR the newer versions of the service wrapper libraries are not Apache License 2 friendly and therefore can not be used. You still might just use another version of the wrapper by installing/upgrading it yourself :)
