How do I resolve a 'com4j.dll' error when setting up polling using the Hudson VSS Plugin?

When I try to configure my Hudson job to use polling against my Sourcesafe repository, I get the following error : 

com4j.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

How can I resolve this?

    What's happening here is that Hudson is trying to use the 32-bit dll from a 64-bit Java process.

    To resolve this, simply either configure Hudson to run exclusively using a 32-bit version of the JRE, or just uninstall your 64-bit java runtime and replace it with a 32-bit runtime (don't forget to update your %PATH% values pointing to the JRE!).

    Once this is done, the error should be resolved.
