Yes, it can run 64-bit programs; that's not the problem. The problem is with the system commands in %windir%\system32. For 32-bit programs, this is redirected to %windir%\SysWOW64 -- which doesn't contain the same files. For example, services.msc is missing. > Can you run the command if it is in a different folder? Yes. But I don't want to copy all those system commands I'm using elsewhere. > Can you run with file.run How would I use this in a menu file? The relevant lines look like this: ---- startsubmenu &Services &Console = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.msc" ---- If file.run runs in a 32-bit context, it likely suffers from the same restriction. For example, if I run the 32-bit version of cmd.exe, it behaves identically to my PowerPro menu commands (in what it sees and what not). OTOH, JPSoft's TCC/LE has a configuration option to disable the redirection. It runs as 32-bit application, so there seems to be a way to do so. FWIW, I created an MMC configuration that contains the services panel. I stored it in D:\Batch\services.msc. This also works. I guess this is not much different from copying the original services.msc though :) (And the resulting msc file is twice the size of the original msc file in system32...) Just creating a link doesn't work. This link doesn't access the correct file when used from a 32-bit application. It even is modified and after calling it from a 32-bit application points to a different msc file -- one that is in SysWOW64. (This looks like a bug to me, but anyway... this is how it works :) Jernej Simončič wrote: > Change system32 to sysnative - this directory isn't visible in the > filesystem, but it lets you access the 64bit system32 from a 32bit > process that doesn't disable WOW64 redirection. I've read about this and tried it, but this doesn't seem to work in XP x64. AIUI, it has been introduced with Vista x64. Do you know how to disable the WOW64 redirection?
