This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have a vbcript which runs fine on 32 bit windows but when I run it on a 64 bit computer I get an error:

Error:  Could not create object named "Altiris.AeXNSEvent"
Code:  80040154
Source:  Wscript.createobject

Any thoughts on a workaround?

Well, the Altiris Agent is still a 32-bit process and running in a 32bit environment on a 64bit machine.  Does it work if you run it manually from a command shell (executing with the 64 bit wscript.exe, I think this is in the SysWow64 directory)?
