Help with C:\windows\system32 file detection

[CHAFF]

Hi all

Has anyone else encountered this failing with #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n ? But works with #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y

Of course alg.exe can be any existing file in system32.

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=asInvoker
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
;Autoit3 Ver 3.3.8.0
If FileExists("C:\windows\system32\alg.exe") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Exists")
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Does NOT exist")
EndIf

It is a result of system file redirection between the system32 and SysWow64 folders.
