Copy Files to 64bit folder

I have an installer that needs to copy a single dll into the 64bit System32 folder on 64bit systems. I have tried custom actions and the movefile table but none of them seem to work. What is the best way to do this? I am using a merge module project...:confused:

As far as I know there is no way around this in 64-bit Windows 2003 Server. Starting with Vista there is a way that will allow access to the files in the 64-bit System32 directory from the 32-bit sandbox. See

Good luck and let me know if you need more help with this.
