Hi,

 

I wanted to use a 32 bit exe tool "envtime.exe" in 64 bit Windows 2003 to

capture the current date, but this tool is giving error as it is

noncompatable to run in 64 bit Windows.

 

Request you to help me if any one knows the way/work arounbd to fix the

same....

 

Thanks in advance...

Mahesh

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 ?

 

HTH,
