The question was about support for 64-bit Windows and if you read the
documented you pointed to, you'll see that 64-bit binaries on 64-bit
Windows is *NOT* supported for servers with 5.x.  You can run 32-bit
Windows on a 64-bit machine but that's not what the original posted
asked.  64-bit NetBackup server binaries on 64-bit Windows requires 6.x.
