Another 32/64bit issue..

[lanamor]

I've read every post concerning the Set 64bit Mode and it doesn't seem to help me. Attached is a sample native setup. I'm trying to write a file to C:\windows\system32\tasks on a 64 bit OS but the file gets redirected to c:\windows\syswow64\tasks. The issue seems to be where in the script I'm running the Write Text File command. If I place the write file at the very top, or somewhere in the Global settings it works, but when I place it down at "TO-DO: Insert any additional install commands here" it always redirects to c:\windows\syswow64\tasks.

Dear lanamor,

I don't know how you tested the attached project, but for what I can tell, both TXT files get created correctly under the respective system folders.
I just tested the generated setup on my WIN 7 SP1 x64 test machine.

I'm testing on Win10 64bit

Dear lanamor,

just tested on WIN 10 x64 (Cumulative update) and I don't see any problem.
