Does an error message appear? Does the updater just close or sit there and do nothing?

The windows binaries are meant for 32-bit systems. For a 64-bit system, you will need to build the program from source. Please visit here: http://planeshift.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/docs/compiling.html and select Windows - MSVC. If you need more assistance, please visit the irc channel: #planeshift-build on freenode.net.

You arnt running in 64bit then so that cant be the issue.
