Wow64 X86 Emulator Download

InstallAnywhere 2013

If 32-bit Windows-on-Windows (WOW64) emulation is enabled during installation or uninstallation on a 64-bit version of Windows, problems may occur. For example, operations for a 64-bit magic folder may be redirected automatically to 32-bit locations; this may cause 64-bit applications to be installed incorrectly on 64-bit systems.

However, if WOW64 emulation is disabled during installation or uninstallation, other issues can occur. For example, custom code that calls InstallAnywhere Windows Service APIs may not be redirected as expected.

  • WOW64 processes. You can now easily understand how a 32-bit process gets loaded in an x86 environment as well as a 64-bit process in an x64 environment. So, how about a 32-bit process in an x64 environment? For this special case, Windows has created what's called the WOW64 emulator. This emulator consists of the following three DLLs: wow64.dll.
  • 32 bit program, runs on 32 bit systems natively, and 64 bit systems using the native WOW64 x86 emulator. Recommended / Minimum CPU/RAM Windows 7 (64-bit) Windows 8 (64-bit) Windows 10 (32- or 64-bit) 4 GB / 2 GHz 2 GB / 1 GHz Windows Vista (Home Premium/Business/Ultimate) (32- or 64-bit).
  • WOW64 is the x86 emulator that allows 32-bit Windows-based applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit Windows. WOW64 is provided with the operating system and does not have to be explicitly enabled. For more information, see WOW64 Implementation Details.

Using the Advanced Designer to Enable or Disable WOW64 Emulation

To specify whether to enable or disable WOW64 emulation:

Microsoft Wow64

1. In the Advanced Designer, on the Project page, click Advanced. The Advanced view opens.
2. In the Windows WOW64 Emulator Settings area, select the check boxes for the elements that should allow WOW64 redirection. Clear the check boxes for the elements that should disable WOW64 redirection.

To learn more about the different elements for which you can enable or disable WOW64 redirection, see Windows WOW64 Emulator Settings.

Calling InstallAnywhere APIs in Custom Code to Enable or Disable WOW64 Emulation

InstallAnywhere’s APIs (IAClasses.zip) include a class called WOW64 in com.zerog.ia.platform. You can use the following APIs with this class to enable and disable WOW64 redirection.

WOW64.getInstance().enableRedirection();

WOW64.getInstance().disableRedirection();

For example, you can disable WOW64 emulation for the Install sequence but use custom code to enable it and then disable it again in specific situations.

Important: If you change the behavior for WOW64 redirection through custom code, ensure that you change it back through custom code once the override is no longer required. If you do not, the same WOW64 settings carry forward for the rest of the session.
