Excel error 64-bit version of SSIS

Question

I have a 64bit system and installed ssis on my system.
How do I changed the ssis project to 32 bit. I have this error:
Information: 0x4004300A at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.
Error: 0xC00F9304 at Package, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDB_EXCEL_NOT_SUPPORTED: The Excel Connection Manager is not supported in the 64-bit version of SSIS, as no OLE DB provider is available.
Error: 0xC020801C at Data Flow Task, Excel Source [1]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC00F9304. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

hmmm...no luck. Here's my command....
C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\CMD.EXE /C "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.EXE" /SQL "\EDIS_3_test19115" /SERVER "emaslcdb2\sql2005_staging" /DECRYPT  EDIS /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
The above syntax actually didn't work from sqlagent job step...but as a test, i opened up the 32 bit command window (c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe) and then executed  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.EXE" /SQL
"\EDIS_3_test19115" /SERVER "emaslcdb2\sql2005_staging" /DECRYPT  EDIS /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E    
Then got the result below (a little cut off on the right). Basically, the same result in my prior test...complaining that the version of the components are not compatible with the data flow. Any other causes of the message, "the version of component xxxxx
is not compatible with this version of the data flow", that you're aware of ? 
C:\>"c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.EXE" /SQL "
EDIS_3_test19115" /DECRYPT EDIS /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E  /SERVER "emasl
db2\sql2005_staging"
