    hello,

    I have only a little question ,can you put a 64 bit tool in the map system32   ( C:\windows\system32) or sytem 32 belongs only to 32  bit tools or files.

    a short answer wil be enough.

    thanks

    I know it is a bit confusing and even sounds weird, but on 64-bit Windows the files in the C:\Windows\System32 folder are 64-bit only files and are for 64-bit applications only.

    The 32-bit only files are actually located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.

    Of course, on 32-bit Windows the files in C:\Windows\System32 are all 32-bit only.

    A 64-bit tool absolutely will not run on a 32-bit system.

    That is a question that would have to be answered by someone involved in the design of Windows.

    I would presume it is there for use by some legacy applications, but I really have no idea and I don't spend any time thinking about it.
