shell 64 bit command

Post by rinzwind » Thu May 26, 2016 8:31 am

Anyone who had the same problem as me... trying to execute 64 bit command with the shell command (it will not do this, since shell uses a 32 bit cmd and Windows redirect calls to commands behind the screens to the 32 bit parts of the OS)...

Solution is to run shell("c:\windows\sysnative\cmd.exe /c " & tcmd)
yup.. sysnative is not visible in the Windows Explorer, but you can cd to it.
