Softimage - GetPluginInstance Softimage command can not be found

Issue:
# ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "<Script Block >", line 32, in XSILoadPlugin
#     import PySoftimage
#   File 
"c:\blur\dev\offline\workgroups\xsi_all\data\site-packages\PySoftimage\__init__.
py", line 32, in <module>
#     gui.connectPlugin( xsi.GetPluginInstance(), xsi.GetWindowHandle() )
#   File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 512, 
in __getattr__
#     raise AttributeError("%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr))
# AttributeError: <unknown>.GetPluginInstance

Repro:
Just start Softimage and check out the log.

Expected:
The GetPluginInstance command should be properly registered and be found by the 
code in PySoftimage\__init__.py

Version:
Softimage 2010 for x64
Win XP 64

Info:
This issue is referred to here:
http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/issues/detail?id=1#c13
http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/issues/detail?id=1#c17
but those were a hijack of another issue so I decided to create a new one for 
proper tracking.

Resolution:
Proper 64bit builds.
From email conversation with Steven Caron: - "[...] we haven't compiled for 
64bit... is that the case for you?"
