From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 23 Feb 2010 01:26 Open a command prompt As Administrator, and copy. Note: System32 folder in 64-bit Windows is ONLY for 64-bit files. 32-bit files go in the SYSWOW64 folder. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Stonebow Witham" <stoned_with(a)ntl.com> wrote in message news:354BE6E5-ECB5-427A-83E7-CAC7B69C2D2F(a)microsoft.com... > How do I add a dll file to windows/system32 folder?

From: Bobby Johnson on 23 Feb 2010 12:33 Except when you know what it means. WOW is Windows on Windows. So SYSWOW64 it the interface between 32-bit and 64-bit on a 64-bit system. What's illogical about that? Wow32 since Win95 is the interface between 16-bit and 32-bit on a 32-bit system.

I'd have to agree with the OP, however, that "system32" as the home for 64-bit system files is perhaps not particularly intuitive. ;) The SYSWOW64 designation, however, makes perfect sense. And I know why they left system32 alone, I just think they shouldn't have. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Bobby Johnson" <rjohnson(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:OxMub5KtKHA.6124(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Except when you know what it means.
