Probably creating the temp file is failing, not reading it. Since this works in 32-bit Vim but not 64-bit Vim, I suspect it's a path problem. Probably it is related to the filesystem redirection/WOW64 feature in Windows. 64-bit applications see a completely different folder for C:\Windows\System32 and some other folders than 32-bit applications, so if your external command depends on anything in these folders it will fail on one but not the other.
