Hi,

I wanted to use a 32 bit exe tool "envtime.exe" in 64 bit Windows 2003 to
capture the current date, but this tool is giving error as it is
noncompatable to run in 64 bit Windows.

Request you to help me if any one knows the way/work arounbd to fix the
same....

Thanks in advance...
Mahesh

I have not tested this, but can you launch "CMD" from the syswow64
directory, that would create a 32 bit process CMD prompt, then launch your
app from there

.... worth a try ?
