Subject: Autoruns Bug - SysNative path not found
Posted: 31 August 2014 at 2:56pm
On a 32 bit windows system, when checking the properties of an object located in the system32 folder, autoruns 12.02 returns a path error:
windows cannot find the path c:\windows\sysnative
Note the system32 folder is always referenced as sysnative but only in the 32 bit version of windows. It works correctly in the 64 bit version of windows. The error occurs for any object located in system32 or a sub-folder of system32. The error occurs with right-click/properties or the menu entry/properties or the shortcut alt-enter.
Until the bug is fixed, a work-around is to create a shortcut or link named sysnative in c:\windows that points to system32.
administrator rights command line: mklink c:\windows\sysnative c:\windows\system32
