Cannot edit in System32 directory under 64-bit Windows

Post by cowwoc »

Hi,

Because Textpad is a 32-bit process, if you try opening a file in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile it will actually try accessing C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile instead.

The only way to fix this problem is to release a 64-bit version of Textpad. Is this in the works?

Thanks,
Gili
