Hello,
Correct A share doesn't care whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.
Knowing the error what happens when the exe fails would be interesting.
One thing that comes to mind however is that when I launch and exe from a
folder the search path always starts with the path that the exe resides in
By copying it local you change the search path of the executable, but that
has nothing to do with the bitness of the application
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
