| When I run the following line while the 32 bit version of python is installed it returns false, however with the 64 bit version it correctly returns true. os.path.exists('C:\\Windows\\System32\\msg.exe') I'm using Python 2.7.2 with Windows 7 Professional 64bit. | ||

| This is the Windows x64 file system redirector at work. I can't get through to msdn at the moment to get a link, but Google for those terms. | ||

| Ok, thanks, that fixed it. I'll probably post some example code for anyone else who stumbles across this with the same problem, don't have the time right now however. | ||
