cdonts.dll on x64

[Mark]

Hi...

I know I'm probably going to take a lot of grief over this, but we have a
pile of legacy code still using CDONTS on 32-bit systems. We're trying to
get x64 compatible, so I was wondering if there was an x64 version of CDONTS
floating around somewhere. I understand that it's long deprecated and that
CDOSYS is the new way to go, but I googled around and there seems to be an
active underground support for 32-bit CDONTS. I found 5 sites to download
the dll in the first page of results.

Didn't find an x64 version though.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

So far I haven't found any information about a 64 bit version of the CDONTS
component. As you said, it is a legacy one and will have less further
support on it. However, if your application do require using it on x64
platform, you may consider building a 32 bit application to call it(and run
on WOW64 mode) and then let your 64 bit application communicate with 32 bit
app.
