No, this is not a fossil issue. The directory C:\Windows\system32 is meant
for 64-bit executables if you are on a 64-bit Windows system, but fossil
is a 32-bit executable. The C:\Windows\system32 directory is
invisible to 32-bit applications. You should place fossil.exe in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 in stead, then it should work.
