Not sure about 2.4.x but 3.0.[012] has a 64 bit windows binary available which 
works fine for me with VSS on a Windows 2008 x64 server (two of them). The 64 
bit windows binary is only the fd and it is a royal pain to install alongside 
the 32 bit sd and director on the same machine, but you just want to install 
the fd so you shouldn't have any problems at all. Uninstall the 32 bit version 
first though as it will get upset about the installation directories.

I don't think it's recommended but I don't think you'll have any problems 
installing a 3.0.2 fd and using it with a 2.4.4 dir+sd.
