I do not know.
Clicking from Windows Explorer, it does not mean, you can do it exactly as it is going on on 64 machines when calling from 32 bit application. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187.aspx, for example. Even with examples I provided, I do not know whether file redirector works or not.

Until more reliable information is available, I would lean on "universal" file viewers like WEB Browser.
