Hello!

I've made the experience that dlls generated under 32 bit / winxp doesn't work on vista 64 bit systems ;-)
'Cause actually i don't have a running 64 bit system ... Is it possible to run a 32 bit dll on vista 64 bit if the dll-functions are called from a 32 bit gui application?

Thanks in advance for telling me your experiences.

Best regards,
Ingo

32 bit DLLs should be callable from 32 bit processes without problem. However, as far as I know, there is no thunking layer between 64 bit processes and 32 bit DLLs like there was between 32 bit processes and 16 bit DLLs in previous versions of Windows.

I do have a Windows XP 64 bit system if you want something tested.
