CreateProcess - failling to launch app on Windows 2003 64-bit Frank <franktko[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/1/2008 7:12:26 PM Hi, We have a 32 bit application that launches other 32 bit applications during its process using CreateProcess. The application is working fine on other 64 bit plateforms but on Windows server 2003 64 bit, we get an error trying to launch the apps: error 193 (not a valid 32 bit application). But we can manually launch these applications on that system without any problem. I though we had found the problem with this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822961 But our customer does have this patch on his system and the error is still occuring. If anyone else encountered something similar or if anyone has any idea on how to resolve this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! François Côté

The problem I'm having is not Itanium related.
