# 🧠 Sysnative Usage in 32-bit Scripts on 64-bit Windows This script demonstrates how to correctly call **64-bit system executables** from a **32-bit process**, using the special Windows path alias: `Sysnative`. --- ## 🧩 Why Use `Sysnative`? When a 32-bit process runs on a 64-bit Windows system, Windows **redirects** calls to `System32` to `SysWOW64`, which contains 32-bit versions of executables. To access the **actual 64-bit system files** from a 32-bit context (like in a 32-bit CMD or installer), you must use `Sysnative`. --- ## ⚙️ What This Script Does It checks if the script is running in a 32-bit context on a 64-bit system: ```bat if defined PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 Set cmdreg=%SystemRoot%\sysnative\reg.exe Set cmdpowershell=%SystemRoot%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Set cmddism=%SystemRoot%\Sysnative\cmd.exe /c Dism ... ``` These variables are then used to: - Modify registry keys with 64-bit reg.exe - Run 64-bit PowerShell scripts - Install drivers with 64-bit DISM - Change power settings, run wusa, etc. 📘 **Tip** Only use `Sysnative` when running 32-bit scripts on 64-bit Windows. If your script runs in a 64-bit context, `System32` already points to the correct location.
