   How to Run 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs on Windows 7 64-bit with Rundll32.exe   
      
   Windows 7 64-bit is a popular operating system that can run both 32-bit and   
   64-bit applications. However, some applications may require you to run a   
   specific DLL file that is either 32-bit or 64-bit. For example, you may want   
   to run a DLL file that    
   contains a device driver, a plugin, or a configuration tool.   
      
      
      
   How can you run a DLL file on Windows 7 64-bit? The answer is rundll32.exe.   
   Rundll32.exe is a Windows program that can load and run 32-bit DLLs on Windows   
   7 64-bit systems. However, it can also run 64-bit DLLs if you use the correct   
   version of rundll32.   
   exe.   
      
      
      
   As we mentioned earlier, there are two versions of rundll32.exe on Windows 7   
   64-bit systems:   
      
      
      
      
   64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe   
   32-bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\rundll32.exe   
      
      
   The 64-bit version of rundll32.exe can run both 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs, while   
   the 32-bit version of rundll32.exe can only run 32-bit DLLs. Therefore, if you   
   want to run a 64-bit DLL on Windows 7 64-bit, you need to use the 64-bit   
   version of rundll32.exe.    
   If you want to run a 32-bit DLL on Windows 7 64-bit, you can use either   
   version of rundll32.exe.   
      
      
      
   To run a DLL file with rundll32.exe, you need to know the name of the DLL and   
   the function you want to call. The syntax of the rundll32 command is:   
      
      
      
   rundll32 <DLLname>, <functionname> [arguments]   
      
      
   For example, to run a 64-bit DLL named SomeDLL.dll that has a function named   
   SomeFunction, you can use the following command:   
      
      
      
   C:\Windows\System32\rundll32 SomeDLL.dll, SomeFunction   
      
      
   To run a 32-bit DLL named AnotherDLL.dll that has a function named   
   AnotherFunction, you can use either of the following commands:   
      
      
      
   C:\Windows\System32\rundll32 AnotherDLL.dll, AnotherFunction   
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\rundll32 AnotherDLL.dll, AnotherFunction   
      
      
   You can also specify the full path of the DLL if it is not located in the   
   System32 or SysWOW64 folder. For example:   
      
      
      
   C:\Windows\System32\rundll32 C:\Program Files\SomeApp\SomeDLL.dll, SomeFunction   
   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\rundll32 C:\Program Files (x86)\AnotherApp\AnotherDLL.dll,   
   AnotherFunction   
      
      
   Note that some DLLs may require additional arguments to run properly. You can   
   check the documentation of the DLL or use a tool like Dependency Walker to   
   find out the required arguments.   
      
      
      
   Conclusion   
      
   Rundll32.exe is a handy Windows program that can load and run DLL files on   
   Windows 7 64-bit systems. You can use it to run both 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs by   
   using the correct version of rundll32.exe and specifying the name and function   
   of the DLL. However,    
   you should be careful when using rundll32.exe as some DLLs may contain harmful   
   code or cause errors if they are not compatible with your system.
