Shoot, sorry, didn't read that as closely as I should've. You need
to install the "full" installer NB_51_4_M.winnt.x64.exe first, then you
can patch it. The full install showed up under MP4 first.

NB_51_5_M_283089.winnt.x64.exe is the full
installer, since it didn't exist before that release.

5.1mp4/5 Win2k3 x64 binaries
Thanks, Dave!
(Front line support passed my call over to customer care, and to a
location on fileconnect, which does seem to have the original 5.1 install media
for most architectures and a Q18330C.NB.MP4.51.tar.gz collection of 5.1MP4
patches... including winnt.intel and winnt.IA64, but apparently lacking
winnt.x64. Weird.)
I
take it there isn't a separate Java patch for x64?
Do you happen to know whether NB_51_5_M_283089.winnt.x64.exe will also
perform a full install, or does one need to lay the initial x64 client down from
NB_51_4_M.winnt.x64.exe and then apply the MP5 maintenance pack? (I'd just find
out on my own but the Windows SAs haven't yet built the x64 system in
question...)

Win2k3 x64 binaries
According to the latest 5.x
compatibility list (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/263839.htm),
64-bit support (both for AMD64 as PC-X64 "hardware" and Itanium as PC-IA64) is
present with NetBackup 5.1MP4 and later, which is somewhat reassuring because
the Windows SAs are in the process of rolling out 64-bit Windows servers on AMD
chips at my employer.
There is one problem, though: I
don't have install media more recent than 5.1 GA (which gets installed and then
MP5 layered over it through their software distribution mechanism), which means
that I don't think I even have the 64-bit
binaries.
