32Bit Compiled exe with a Ping does not work on a 64 Bit Windows 7

[akann@…]

If you use the Ping(..) function in a 32bit compiled script on an 64bit computer, the ping function always returns 1 as roundtrip and 0 as error, even if the pinged host is not existent.
Compiling as 64bit executable works fine.

Even running the *.au3 with AutoIt3.exe or AutoIt3_x64.exe works well and returns correct values. (0 as roundtrip and error = 1 Host offline.

Script used:

Global $dest="217.72.195.44" ; www.web.de + 1, not existent
If @Compiled Then $dest = $CmdLine[1]
$rt = Ping ($dest, 1000)
MsgBox (16,"", "Dest.: " &$dest &" ! Roundtrip: " &$rt &" ! Error: " &@error)

Tested on:

W7 x64 MUI DE,
w2k3 se x64 EN,
xp de 32Bit and
w2k3 32 bit de
(Sorry, no vista, no W7 32Bit, xp 64 available.)

All run as virtual machines on Vmware Player latest version,
all latest service packs and all windows updates installed.
