Reinstalling did not solve the issue. I'll re-attack this evening to see if I can fix this.
Sorry for the late answer but I'm quite busy those days.
Is this error generated during startup of IRSS or ?

I digged into the code and cannot find anything wrong.
Is there another MCE plugin user that is able to blast with a x64 system ?

Great project. So far this is the only program that appears to support using non MCE remotes with an MCE receiver.
One little issue I am running into though. I am using a tivo remote with my MCE remote receiver. But, for whatever reason it seems to interpret tivo button presses as two separate events instead of one. This is otherwise fine with some parts of the suite that only accept one event at a time like the translator. However with the abstract remote map creator, everytime you press a button, it fills the currently selected AbscractButton with the first event, then the next AbstractButton with the second event.
This can be worked around by going back to the previous line and then entering that remote button. However if you make a mistake anywhere, it usually means you have to redo the entire thing from that point onwards. Given that there is a workaround, it isn't a complete showstopper, however I would like to request a feature for special remotes like these where (at your option) it will only accept one event per 300 miliseconds or something similar. I am pretty sure the tivo remote sends one button press for the specific IR command, and immediately followed with another button press so that the tivo itself can log what physical button on the remote was actually pressed - and this goes towards their lame demographic research. The second event should be ignored because it doesn't take into account which mode the remote is in (for controlling different devices as it is a universal remote,) rather the physical button that is pressed.
If that all sounds confusing, I've attached a screenshot showing an example of what happens with the remote abstractor. Basically I get both the up and down event filled in just by merely hitting the up button once on the remote.
I am actually running 64-bit Windows 7 myself with an MCE receiver. I don't have any use for the blaster but I'll see if I can get it working myself anyways to help you guys out.
EDIT: It appears to work fine for me just using the debug client. I hit "learn IR" pressed the info button on my tivo remote, attached the IR blaster to the iris on my tivo, and sure enough it toggles the info dialog box everytime I click the blast IR button.

Why this version doesn't work with Philips SRM5100?
Was your remote working before 3136 ?
If so we need log and the exact plugin name you configured in IRSS.
