Program start from system32 fails.

[ongoro]

Hello,
when I call a program from C: \ Windows \ System32, I get a ""file not found" if the script was compiled as x86.
The script as x64 finds the file without problems.
Unfortunately I still need the x86 version, which has to run on both systems.

Development system: Windows 10 x64

Is there a way?

Script:

If FileExists('C:\Windows\System32\ie4uinit.exe') Then
    MsgBox(0,'file check', 'Executable was found')
Else
    MsgBox(0,'file check', 'Executable was NOT found')
EndIf

Kind regards
Thomas

From the FileExists help file entry --

Quote

If you are running in X86 mode (@AutoItX64 = 0) under a Windows running in X64 mode (@OSArch = "X64") and you want to access @WindowsDir\System32, X64 files will not be found. So you can use @WindowsDir\Sysnative.

Good discussion here --

Thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, I did not find the linked post despite searching.

The solution with Sysnative works great.
