When you try to upgrade a x64-based version of Windows XP to Windows Vista, you receive the following error message:

Upgrade has been disabled. To upgrade, you must be running Windows Vista build 5383 or later, or Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later.

When a 32-bit application is writing the %ProgramFiles% registry value on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Windows Vista automatically changes this string to %ProgramFiles(x86)%. This behavior cannot be changed.

This behavior also occurs in the 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 and of Windows XP.
