  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.
