Title
Body
I would like to know when do we need to place a file under C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 , on a 64-bits windows system. I had two DLL's, one for 32-bit, one for 64-bit. Logically, I thought I'd place the 32-bit DLL under C:\Windows\System32, and the 64-bit DLL under C:\Windows\SysWOW64. To my surprise, it's the other way around ! The 32 -bit one goes into C:\Windows\SysWOW 64 , and the 64 -bit DLL goes into C:\Windows\System 32 . Very confusing stuff. What's the reason behind this?
