Is there a 64-bit version of SyMenu planned for release?

Nope.
I'm curious about your request. Why do you need it?
Maybe you have a memory problem with your SyMenu? Or for some other reason?

It would be convenient for the user to integrate the most used Windows utilities and commands into SyMenu.
SyMenu offers a formidable collection of free programs but there are problems launching some Windows x64 utilities and commands.

Examples:
------------------------------------------
powershell.exe
msconfig.exe
OptionalFeatures.exe
SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe
------------------------------------------
chkdsk /f /r
dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
------------------------------------------

This is a new one but there is an easy workaround.


If I understand well, your problem is that from a 32 bit shell Windows launches 32 bit executables.
But this is not an intrinsic limit of the 32 bit shell, it's only a problem in the resolution of the executable path.

Let's take the first one: powershell.

In SyMenu configuration create a program element (not a Windows command one).
In the path field write: powershell.exe
Execute it
In the opened shell write: [Environment]::Is64BitProcess
It replies False because your PS is the 32 bit version.

Now do again all the previous steps but in the path field write: %SystemRoot%\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
It's the x64 version of PS.
Now write the usual command: [Environment]::Is64BitProcess
and you get True.


Does this workaround solve your issues?
