32-bit memory dumps

EDIT: Tried a different search, and found this is essentially a duplicate of this issue:
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/86625/this-process-is-64-bit-but-this-memory-dump-is-not-memory-dumps-can-only-be-read-if-they-are-the-s#latest

Trying to open a memory dump of a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit OS, using AMP running on a 64-bit machine.  I get the message:

This process is 64-bit, but this memory dump is not. Memory dumps can only be read if they are the same bitness as the process.

I assume by "this process" it means ANTS, and not the process we're taking the dump from.  Is there a way to run AMP in a 32-bit mode then?  The doco here: Analyzing memory dumps - ANTS Memory Profiler 11 - Product Documentation (red-gate.com) says:

Memory dumps of 32-bit applications can only be opened when running AMP in a 32-bit environment.

I tried launching the GUI from a 32-bit cmd process, but it was unimpressed.

    I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what I did at the time.  The linked issue in the EDIT above has a bit more information, about using corflags to set the process to 32 bit.  Hope that helps.

    using corflags all works, if I can suggest it should be more usable having one more executable for 32bit dump management...
