Well, in some sense it is lucky that the installer does not find the 64-bit Python installation -- the extension was compiled on a 32-bit Windows and it is unlikely that the extension would work with a 64-bit version. Unfortunately we cannot provide a 64-bit installer at the moment as we don't have a license for 64-bit Windows. If someone is willing to help (i.e. compile a 64-bit installer after each igraph release and share it with us), I can provide detailed instructions on how to compile the library in Windows.
