Use a 32-bit firewall.
I cannot conceive of any benefits for an application of this nature that would require 64-bits.

the 32bit firwalls I have tryed dont work, they say that the werent built for the os

You mean the OS version check fails during install?
Use the Microsfot ORCA editor and disable the version check:

Or, make a regedit and create a spoof versioning:

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName
(Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000)

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CDSVersion
(Service Pack 1, Service Pack 2, ...)

(Be sure to save the registry keys involved as .reg files for backup first).

Spoof the version, install, and put back your backup .reg entries.

Tiny has a 64-bit firewall:
