Bug report in Vista64
Hi!

On Windows XP64, the dlls are correctly copied
\SysWOW64 instead to \System32, but on Vista 64,
they again land in \System32. Consequently the
apps can not find them because System32 is not
in the path.

Is there any update in sight that will fix this?

Thanks!

Use ${DisableX64FSRedirection} from x64.nsh.

Hi!

That is the problem. The redirection is not
working on Vista 64. It only works on XP 64.

I dont want to disable the redirection.
I would like to have it working :)

Thanks!

; SetOutPath $SYSDIR
; ${DisableX64FSRedirection}
; File some.dll # extracts to C:\Windows\System32
; ${EnableX64FSRedirection}
; File some.dll # extracts to C:\Windows\SysWOW64

That's not documented anywhere. Redirection to SysWOW64 should still be available on Vista x64 and there shouldn't be anything NSIS can do about it. Are you sure you're not registering some DLL that disables it for the process? Can you post the minimal script that reproduces this issue?
