Guest Edwin vMierlo [MVP] Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Re: how to run 32 bit tool in 64 bit Windows 2003 Server I have not tested this, but can you launch "CMD" from the syswow64 directory, that would create a 32 bit process CMD prompt, then launch your app from there .... worth a try ?
