Only 32 bit processes can see it. It doesn't exist in a 64 bit process. Server 2003 x64 used for above example (I did apply the MS patch to enable sysnative on server 2003 btw). If I try a normal (64 bit) cmd.exe I get
&lt;code&gt;
C:\WINDOWS&gt;cd Sysnative
The system cannot find the path specified.
