Get error HEAT5150 with x64 dll

Question

I get this error when I have a x64 dll in the folder that I try to harvest

heat.exe : error HEAT5150: Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: C:\Users\ama\Documents\Projekt\FreePIE\Output\sixense_fak e_x64.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. O therwise, this error detail may be helpful to diagnose the failure: Unable to l oad file: C:\Users\ama\Documents\Projekt\FreePIE\Output\sixense_fake_x64.dll, e rror: 193 [C:\Users\ama\Documents\Projekt\FreePIE\BuildTools\build_installer.xm l]

How can I configure heat to support x64 dlls or just add them without doing any checking? its just a static c library, my program is not even using it, if the user wants to fake this SDK he copes over the sixense_fake_x64.dll from the install folder to the third party program that is dependent on it.

edit Source code if of any help

Heat.exe has a number of switches that control harvesting. Run heat -? to see a list. The one you want is:

-sreg suppress registry harvesting
