Well you need full admin rights (if UAC is on) to write files to system32, so make sure your script is executed either by the SYSTEM account or similar who has full access.

All you need to do is to set the Pltaform Property in the Summary Information Stream to x64. This will result in, that the File System Redirection won't set the paths to the 32-bit Windows environment on your x64 machine.

Which version of WISE are you using?
You will need to upgrade to WISE 8 MR1 to use the functionality of x64.
The Wise Script which you are using will automatically point it to SysWow64 folder.

Yes, I have full admin rights. And I am using Wise 7.x. I know it defaults too Syswow64 but I created a new variable DROP and it's value is c:\windows\system32. And it still won't copy the .DLL to c:\windows\system32.

I've even written a small .CMD file that does the copy. I put a PAUSE statement into my .CMD file and ran it in "Normal" view so I can see it. Wise kicks off the .CMD file, I see that the file WAS COPIED. But when I look in c:\windows\system32 the .DLL is NOT there.

So the .CMD file says it copied the file yet the .DLL is not in the \system32 folder.

Not sure what else to try?!?!

Ok, this is weird. I added a .CMD file in my Wise script that does a MOVE /Y command. I copy the msvcr100.dll to c:\temp then I MOVE it to c:\widows\system32. My PAUSE statements shows me that the MOVE worked. But.... when I search for the file msvcr100.dll it was moved to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 What The Heck !?!?!?! Why?

Ok..... File Redirect on Windows 7 64bit :-) I now know why I have this issue and it think I have a fix.

Thanks.

Try to Use SYSNATIVE so that file redirection will occur properly

When you run your MSI, it will run in Win 32 shell so it will show you that it is copying it to system32, but in actual, in Win32 shell Syswow64 is the system32 folder and hence it is getting copied to syswow64 folder.

I recommend you to read my article here for better understanding:

You will need to upgrade your WISE package Studio to use it for 64 bit.

By default the System32 directory can only be edited by the group TrustedInstaller. If you are apart of this group you should be able to edit the directory.

This is a Windows* OS/file system issue.The cause is
the directory paths in the system is longer than 255 characters (including spaces).You may see the error "Can't copy or delete file.".The fully qualified file
name must be less than 260 characters, and the
directory name must be less than 248 characters,"
under the following circumstances:Opening an assembly with .NET ReflectorExporting source code for an assembly using an add-in such as FileDisassembler,or
FileGenerator.There's a lot of additional softwares
which can fix this problem like Long Path Tool.

Long Path Tool can simplify and probably end your
problems in unlocking, managing and renaming files
that appear to have a long filename.
