subprocess works fine on my win pro 32-bit, but not on vista 64-bit.
am i doing some wrong, or it just won't work for win64? If that's
true, will it be extended to win64 in teh future?
thanks in advance

Please characterize exactly how it is not working for you.
Include any error message and/or exception traceback.

Cheers,

also subprocess.py clearly says

You are more likely to get a helpful answer if you give a minimal
example and explain exactly what 'not [works fine]' means. What did
happen? Include full error traceback if there was one.

This is a configuration error on your system. The application you are
trying to start is incorrectly installed - it's not only that Python
can't start it, but nobody can.
