Ability To Update BIOS via WinPE 3.0 64bit

I'm trying to incorporate updating the systems BIOS through a MDT Task Sequence and this would happen in a WinPE environment. The EXE works when using a 32bit WinPE 3.0 disk but fails with a 64bit WinPE disk. I don't believe the BIOS update EXE is compatible because I receive this error when trying to run the EXE "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present." Is there a way to be able to do this in the 64bit WinPE environment?

The other issue I am seeing is when using the "-NOREBOOT" switch the BIOS never updates. I can see the EXE run but when I reboot the system nothing happens. When I don't use the "-NOREBOOT" switch the system reboots and applies the updated BIOS. I've also tried the "/s /f" switches and those too do not seem to work.
