Hi all, I have a problem with running powershell scripts from within cygwin.. basically no matter what I do it always ends up running the powershell process as 32bit when invoked from within Cygwin. This normally wouldn't make a difference, but I need to use a powershell extension that only exists for 64bit powershell. There isn't really anything powershell specific about this question though;
Can anyone tell me for sure that it's impossible to run a 64bit windows process from 32bit Cygwin? Or rather.. is it possible to spawn a 64bit process from Cygwin and have it not be trapped inside WoW64 emulation? It seems as though once you're inside WOW64, you can't readily escape from it? I wonder if it would be possible to ask the explorer process to spawn something for you (possibly via a com message?) rather than using WinExec(). If so a utility to facilitate such process spawning would be a very useful addition to Cygwin.
