OK, just for my understanding of this:
I cannot see the file there (system32)
FPC looks for it there
Windows just says it's there (and silently redirects to syswow64
folder)
FPC looks at file, sees it's wrong, tells me the file in system32 is
wrong.
Does that imply that, when I have a 32-bit program do a FindFirst for
common.dll in the system32 folder, Windows just tells the program that
the file is there?
For compilers this is always more difficult, since the mapping must
match the target system rather than the host binary.
True, but FPC already deals with that difference (and avoids this
redirection using the respective Win32 API function if cross-compiling
from Win32 to Win64).
