[Ironpython-users] IronPython always in 32-bit mode on 64bit machine even when running ipy64.exe

[Curt Hagenlocher]

Can you use corflags.exe to confirm that your ipy64.exe is actually not
marked for 32-bit execution? Your output should look like this:

PS D:\Program Files\Sho\bin> corflags .\ipy64.exe
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CorFlags Conversion Tool.  Version  3.5.30729.1
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Version   : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
PE        : PE32
CorFlags  : 9
ILONLY    : 1
32BIT     : 0
Signed    : 1
