Hi,
we have the following environment:
Windows SBS 2011 with 64bit
The cmd-command calls c:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe and shows
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
The command c:\\windows\\system32\\openfiles.exe in this mode works perfectly.
We tried to call this program via C$SYSTEM with flags 192 with 32bit-runtime 9.2.5 and get the error
The target system must be running a 32 bit OS
We have tried
openfiles.exe
c:\\windows\\system32\\openfiles.exe
cmd /c c:\\windows\\system32\\openfiles.exe
cmd /c openfiles.exe
but get always the same error.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
When running in a 32-bit process on a 64-bit OS, and calling a process which must be run as 64-bit, you have to use "SysNative", which is a pointer to the C:\\Windows\\System32 directory (when you use that directory from a 32-bit process on Win64, it automatically maps to C:\\Windows\\SYSWOW64\\).
We use this:
%WINDIR%\\SysNative\\cmd.exe /c openfiles.exe
The only hitch is you either have to detect 64-bit OS, or use MKLINK /D %WINDIR%\\SysNative %WINDIR%\\System32 to create the SysNative symbolic link on 32-bit machines.
