Hello everyone,

Is there a reliable way to find the SysWow64 folder on 64bit installation of Windows? I'm looking for something like GetSystemDirectory and GetWindowsDirectory.

Will SysWow64 always be in the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\ folder? If so, then concatenating the results of GetWindowsDirectory and "\SysWow64" should be sufficient. I'd much rather have a function that returns the path though.

It's been a long time since I've been to the forums. Hope everyone is well.

Regards,
Scott
