    Can't Reference 64 bit Shell32.dll in 64 bit Excel VBA


    I built a 64-bit COM DLL and have referenced it in Excel's VBA references dialog. It used to run fine but recently started giving the error:"Run-time error '430' Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface"I think the problem is that the "Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation" library points to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Shell32.dll" - which is the 32-bit version of that DLL on 64-bit Windows.I've tried everything I can find to unregister that and register C:\Windows\System32\Shell.dll the 64-bit version on 64-bit Windows, but Excel will not change.Does anyone know wh

    Can't Reference 64 bit Shell32.dll in 64 bit Excel VBA

    Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

    So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

    Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

    After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

    1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
    2. Note the activation key
    3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
    4. Perform a clean install
    5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2

    (Of course I'll backup my data first.)

    However, I still have some questions:

    1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
    2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
    3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?

    Thank you for your assistance.
