How to check if file exists in system32 folder on 64bit Windows

Hi

 

When I want to check if file exits on system32 folder in 64bit Windows, TestComplete always returns false even if file does exist.

When printer driver is installed, some driver files are copied also to system32 folder and I want to check if file was really copied there. How to do this on 64 bit Windows?

    Found a solution.

    aqFileSystem.Exists("c:\Windows\System32\PROUnstl.exe") returns false in 64bit Windows.

    aqFileSystem.Exists("c:\Windows\Sysnative\PROUnstl.exe") returns true in 64bit Windows.
