# System 32

## Problem:

There is a problem with the system32 folder.

## Solution:

System32 is a crucial directory for the Windows operating system, housing 32-bit programs in 32-bit Windows and 64-bit programs in 64-bit Windows. Since the XEOX agent is a 32-bit program, but you want to access both types of programs on a 64-bit computer, you need to use %sysnativ% instead of system32 when specifying the path for 32-bit programs. Otherwise, entering system32 for 32-bit programs would lead to the syswow64 directory instead.

**%sysnativ% always accesses the highest bit directory.**
