    MSInfo32 no showing 32 bit modules when run on a 64 bit version of Win


    Hello folks,
    I run a number of 32 bit applications on my Windows 7 box.
    (I have two of them. A 32 bit version and a 64 bit version).

    When I run MSInfo32 on my 64 bit Windows 7 box, it does not show any of the 32 bit models that are indeed loaded into memory.

    But they all show up on my 32 bit version of Windows 7.

    Is there a setting or something that I have to enable in order to "see" all of the loaded modules ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much for any responses.

    Are the 32 bit applications just missing from the loaded modules?
    There are no special settings and the only way to tell the difference is to look at the path.
    32 bit applications will show a path to Program Files (x86), while 64 bit applications will show program Files.

    Thanks for the reply.

    When running MSInfo32.exe on a 64 bit Windows 7 box .....

    There ARE 32 bit "tasks" listed in the expanded "Running Tasks" section.
    Along with, 64 bit tasks.
    A GOOD thing.

    But there aren't any 32 bit modules listed in the expanded "Loaded Modules" section.
    ONLY 64 bit modules.

    Kind of disappointing, if it turns out to be "just the way it is".

    I see both 32 and 64 bit in the expanded Loaded modules.

    For example, if you run Internet explorer and Internet explorer (64 bit), they both show in the list with the appropriate paths.

    And thank you for the reply.

    I also see the IE, .exe objects in the loaded modules section.

    Do you se any 32 bit .ocx or .dll objects ?

    I don't see a single one on a 64 bit Windows 7 box.
    Yet I see them all on a 32 bit version of windos 7.

    Is that consistant with what you are seeing ?
    I mean, no 32 bit .ocx or .dll objects ?
