So if it helps anyone here is a list of what works (and what doesn't).
XP 64 Software installations
64 bit programs
Encase 6.11.2 x64
Encase installed OK. Help About shows that the PDE, VFS, EFS and Fastbloc SE modules are installed and I have successfully tested PDE.
Tomtology
Tomtology x64 1.162, .NET 3.5 Redistributable and the keylock dongle drivers all installed and working.
7Zip
Ultramon
Firefox
CodeMeter
CodeMeter Runtime 3.30a is needed for the FTK codemeter dongle.
Gimp 2.5.4
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.5.4-r26790-x64-setup.exe?modtime=1219882476&big_mirror=0
32 bit programs that work within the 64 bit OS
Encase 6.11.2 32 bit version
The 32 bit version installs and runs OK.
Access Data FTK
I had hoped to upgrade to FTK2 but a 64 bit version has not been released. I did however decide to transfer our licences from the green keylock dongle to the Codemeter dongle. There are detailed instructions on how to do this within the FTK2 box. I used an internet connected laptop with the latest version of Licence Manager installed to carry out the transfer. Once the licences were on the codemeter dongle I installed CodeMeter Runtime 3.30a (64 bit) onto the XP 64 bit box and then inserted the dongle. It was successfully recognized. FTK 1.81 and Registry Viewer 1.5.3 have been installed and they work OK.
Microsoft Office 2007
The office programs are 32 bit but are designed to work with a 64 bit MS OS.
VFC
I have installed VFC 1.2.4.3, the green keylock dongle drivers and VMWare Diskmount Utility. All seem to work OK.
C4P
C4P v3.3.4 runs without issue. However some work is needed to get the C4P graphics extractor enscript running.
For Encase v6 64 bit running on XP 64 bit install the 64 bit MySQL 3.51 ODBC connector driver found at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html#winx64
and also a MS hotfix found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=000364db-5e8b-44a8-b9be-ca44d18b059b&displaylang=en
The latest C4P v4 graphics extractor enscript contains a mySQL database connection string which needs modification (if you are using mysql). The string needs to be edited to read:
Conn.Open("PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=" + Com.serverName + ";DATABASE=" + DbName + ";" + "UID=c4p_user;PASSWORD=password;OPTION=3")
NetAnalysis
NetAnalysis 1.38 beta 6 is running OK
Irfanview
Irfanview 4.20 is a running OK
Saminside
Saminside v2.5.7.1 is running OK
Isobuster 1.9 Pro
Isobuster 1.9 Pro works OK
Various other utilities such as PSPad, FileAlyzer, WRR and WFA are also working OK.
Things that did not work
Well not much really. The Microsoft powertoy picture resizer does not work but is adequately replaced with http://adionsoft.net/fastimageresize/

Only just come across your helpful post months later... I decided to play with fire and loaded up Vista x64 onto a new forensic box.
So far I've had pretty similar results but can't get VMware Diskmount (the 5.5 version) to install, so LiveView won't install at all.
Is this a problem with XP x64 as well?
Also the current release of the .XRY mobile phone examination software doesn't seem to work on XP or Vista x64, so we've had to run it in a 32-bit VM.
I had not attempted to installed Liveview until I saw this comment (I have installed VFC). So far I have failed to install it because the installer does not seem to detect the previously installed 64 bit Java RE.
Great post, just stumbled upon it during our upgrades.
Just a note, the latest version of the 64 bit MySQL ODBC connector driver is 5.1 and as such one needs to rename that in the c4p enscript.
No issues with vmware mount (for VFC) using VMware-mount-5.5.0-18463. Working perfectly
Emee,
The enscript can be modified to use the newer driver, however I found it to be noticeably slower.
Also if you use the data migration/special option in C4P itself you cannot modify the database connection string because it is hard coded into the program. Having said that to get this feature working in XP64 you will have to install the 32 bit driver alongside the 64 bit one.
