      We now build 32-bit AU as part of the 64-bit windows build. During this transition, we noticed there were issues signing the au msi/cab for 64bit builds. This was working fine for our DS Hudson builds, but it was getting an error for JPRT 64-bit builds.

      We can either figure out why this error is only happening for 64-bit JPRT builds, or we can revisit whether the signing of these files is even necessary. It should only really be necessary for 32-bit builds, because the iftw downloads these 2 files and should check the signature. I'm unsure if it currently does.

      It's possible that we can look into going back to bundling up the au files as a iftw resource. Size is a consideration. But then again, we should be able to get rid of jaucheck.exe, jaureg.exe and possibly some no longer used resources for jucheck.
