Prerequisites:
XYplorer 6.80.0114
Vista x64
Office 2007
Description:
When "WOW64 Redirection" is checked everything is OK, but when I disable this option I am not able to open Office documents from XYplorer.
How to reproduce:
1. Uncheck View -> Show Items -> WOW64 Redirection.
2. Restart XYplorer.
3. Double-click a .xls, .doc, .ppt or .msg document. Nothing happens.
4. Right-click the same document and click Open. The following error message is displayed: "D:\Temp\test.doc is not a valid Win32 application."
Any help is appreciated.

I fear that's the deal here. You cannot have both at the same time.MrSpock wrote:Description:
