The WOW64 subsystem redirects 32-bit binary calls without requiring changes
to the 32-bit binaries. However, you may see evidence of this redirection
when you perform some tasks. For example, if you type a command-line script
at a 64-bit command prompt, the command prompt may not be able to access
32-bit programs in the Program Files folder. The WOW64 subsystem redirects
and installs 32-bit programs in the Program Files (x86) folder. To access
the correct folder, you must change the command-line script. Alternatively,
you must type the command-line script at a 32-bit command prompt. The 32-bit
command prompt automatically redirects file system calls to the correct
32-bit directory.
To start a 32-bit command prompt, follow these steps:
. Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe, and then
click OK.
