I need to access a 32bit dll from a 64bit exe

Question

I know I read all about surrogate process, and I was able to create a surrogate COM but it either all works in 32bit or all works in 64bit.

What would be the correct structure?

1) 32.dll <- 64.com <- 64.exe 2) 32.dll <- 32.com <- 64.exe

I tried both of the above but I did not succeed to call the 32.dll?

Answer 1

This is defenetly what you want: 32.dll <- 32.com <- 64.exe If it does not work, show more details HOW it does not work.

Also, if you are not doing much calls, you may communicate via sockets (just a backup plan).
