Problem with Space Navigator and XSI 6.5 32 bit

Windows x64;
XSI 6.5 32 bit

I installed 3DxQare 3.4.2.
I pick the .xsiaddon to be installed.
When I hit "Install", I get this error message:

"Unable to connect the event. File: C:*mypath to softimage*\XS_6.5\Addons\Application\bin\nt-x86-64\\3DxSI.dll"

Though on the same machine the Space Navigator works in XSI 6.5 64 bit!
But in the 64 bit version many plugins won't work, so I need to run the 32bit one...

I heard that there are two drivers in the .xsiaddon, a 32bit and a 64bit one.
When I install the driver within 32bit XSI it tries to start the 32bit driver, ignoring that it's actually running on a 64bit machine. So it fails.
Or maybe it tries the 64bit driver, but in xsi 32bit it fails for any reason.

If that's the case, is there a workaround for that? Can i force the xsiaddon to use the 64bit driver? Or is there a way to just bring one of the two drivers to xsi?

The error message results from trying to use the 64bit addon in the 32bit application.

To install the 32bit addon it should be enough to start the 'Update Wizard' from the '3Dconnexion Control Panel'. You may need to uninstall the addon you have manually installed first though.

BTW the 32bit addon can be found under \Program Files (x86)\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxSI
