TestComplete launches 32-bit cmd.exe (i.e. cmd.exe*32 process)

We need to invoke a test application via command prompt. The application is a 64-bit app and NOT supported on 32-bit.

What I need?

1. Invoke Command prompt from TestComplete (using VBScript). Windows 7 64-bit is being used.

2. Run application using command line arguments

3. Further processing....

Where I'm stuck?

Unable to launch "cmd.exe" using TestComplete. Using any of approaches below "cmd.exe*32" process is launched. When we run our application "32-bit Windows not supported" is shown (which is probably a custom application message)

Approaches (all of them launch cmd.exe*32)

1. Add cmd.exe to TestedApps (more specifically C:\Window\system32\cmd.exe) and then using TestApps.cmd.Run(1, True)

2.Using WScript:

       Set oWShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

       oWShell.Run("cmd")

Note: When launching command prompt manually via Windows > Run > cmd, cmd.exe is launched.

It seems really silly to me, so coming straight off to the forum for urgent help.
