Can't Find WFS.exe and WFSR.dll in C:\Windows\System32\

[RedCat]

I am using FreecommanderXE ver 566 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

I not sure if this is a bug or I have something configured incorrectly.

Using FreecommanderXE (or old version) I am unable to see WFS.exe and WFSR.dll in C:\Windows\System32 folder. I can see the files with MS Explorer or a Win 7 DOS box.

Any ideas?

The topic you referenced indicates FreecommanderXE should find the files in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. FreecommanderXE does not find the files in that location either.

Windows search finds the files in 4 locations on drive C: and FreecommanderXE search finds them in 3 locations on drive C:. The missing location is the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

WFS.exe is Windows Fax and Scan and is present on my 3 Win 7 machines in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Somehow this issue is related to 64bit Win 7 as FreecommanderXE displays the files on a Win 32bit install.

Creating a C:\Windows\Sysnative folder allows the files to be seen in FreecommanderXE. Windows Explorer see it as an empty folder. It is a solution however somewhat half-baked.
