Acronis True Image Home 2009 gives installation error on Vista Ultimate 64 bits

Hello,

I bought Acronis True Image Home 2009 this afternoon and after having received an e-mail I downloaded the software.

During installation of the software there is an error message.

An error occured during the installation of assemby "microsoft.VC80.CRT.publickeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a18e3b", type = "win32", version = "8.050727.762". processorArchitecture = "amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information

It seems that the software is 32 bits and therefore can not be installed on my version of Windows

I use Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits as an operating system.

Can anybody help or tell me what to do ?

Best regards
