Error when installing replication on a Vista x64 machine

Question

When I use Replication.Distributor.Install from an app on a Vista x64 machine I get the following error:  Unable to create Distribution database:
-2147207391 - [Mirosoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could  not execute "C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\binn\osql" -E -S"VistaX64\SL" -I60 -t60 -d"distribution" -b -i"C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SL\install\instdist.sql" -o"C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SL\install\instdist.out"

As far as I can tell there is a problem with the path (^).  I am using MSDE 2000.

Kind Regards
