Is there any plans to release Nessus as a 64-bit application?

I ran into a problem with a scanner that was trying to check file permissions,  
the scanner is a 32-bit application, so it runs inside the WOW64 emulator, 
which remaps the system32 directory and replaces it with the contents of the 
sysWOW64 directory. 

Therefore a 32-bit application cannot access the contents you are seeing in the 
system32 directory -- only a 64-bit application to do that.  And all the file 
perms failed.

Thanks for any Info.
