Disable "Prefer 32-bit" from Release Configuration

Open jayderfranca opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello!

Sorry about my english...

With the "Prefer 32-bit" option enabled, the program creates the behavior of not recognizing the "C:\Program Files..." directory in Windows 64bit shortcuts, only the "C:\Program Files (x86)..." directory is recognized.

How to reproduce:

  • Make a new shortcut to any program installed inside "C:\Program Files..."
  • Run taskbar-groups inside of VS with "Prefer 32-bit" enabled
  • Add new group and try to add a shortcut
  • On File Open Dialog, open the property page of shortcut, the target will be "C:\Program Files (x86)..." (Wrong directory)
  • Stop taskbar-groups, disable "Prefer 32-bit" and run again
  • Add new group and try to add a shortcut
  • On File Open Dialog, open the property page of shortcut, the target will be "C:\Program Files..." (Correct directory)

I remember turning that off, but I think that caused some other issues that I don't remember. I will look into it further if there is any issues with turning that off.

I do recognize that Program Files is redirected to x86 on 64bit system and that is an issue that I am looking to work on.

It appears that this issue is not unique to Taskbar Groups. Other dock softwares, such as RocketDock and ObjectDock, have this problem, too.
