Disable redirection mechanism in Windows XP x64

[ffdshow]

I use a script compiled in 32 bit OS which copy some files to Program Files dir.

In XP x64 the files are copied to C:\Program Files (x86) instead of C:\Program Files. I used

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)

to disable the redirection mechanism, but didn't work. The question is: can I use a

script compiled in 32 bit mode which work in 64 bit environment?

32 bit applications can be run in a 64 bit environment, but you cannot load dlls of the wrong type.

I know they are working in 64 bit environment, but how can I copy those files to C:\Program Files by-passing the redirection mechanism? The files are copied to C:\Program Files (x86) instead of C:\Program Files. Thanks.

I'm afraid I'm not sure of how to do that. You know you can compile 64 bit AutoIt scripts though.

Your code is not correct. It should be

$OldValue = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "ptr*", 0)
If Not @error Then $OldValue = $OldValue[1]

Still not working.

What do you mean by "not working"?

I mean that the redirection mechanism is not disable with ProgAndy's code and my files still goes

to %programfiles(x86)% instead of %programfiles% using the script compiled in x86 flavor.
