System32 & Syswow64 Question

[xor2]

Hi!

 

I have recently moved to the windows server 2008.

My 32 bit com+ application used to have configuration file located at: system32 directory.

 

When I had copied the config file to the system32, it was copied automatically to syswow64.

I have read somewhere that an application reading system32 directory is automatically and transparently redirected

to syswow64 directory.

 

So here goes my questions:

 

1) Is it enough to copy the config file only to syswow64, should it also been copied to system32?

2) I think, that once when I copied the file to system32 it was copied to the syswow64 and deleted from system32, why?

3) Is it possible the situation that the config file was _only_ in syswow64, and the com+ application could have occasionally

problems reading the file, from system32 path?

 

 

Thanks for help in advance!
