Resolution
There are two parts to Space Manager. The part that runs on a Windows client PC, and the part that MUST run on the database server.
The part that runs on a Windows client PC is Space Manager (spacemgr.exe). This part must have a 32-bit Oracle client. It is possible to install a 32-bit Oracle client on a 64-bit Windows OS. Look for a certified 32-bit client for your operating system.
Space Manager (spacemgr.exe) communicated with software that runs on the database server. The software that runs on the database server is what we call the Quest Server Agent, QSA. QSA will run on a 64-bit Windows database server using an Oracle 64-bit client (the 64-bit Oracle client that is installed as part of the Oracle 64-bit database installation.) You do not need to install a 32-bit client for the agent.
