(0001038) bytehead (updater) 2012-08-08 00:22 edited on: 2012-08-08 00:56	I just checked my setup under c:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\: FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_ActiveX.dll FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_ActiveX.exe Flash64_11_3_300_270.ocx FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_Plugin.exe NPSWF64_11_3_300_270.dll For me SUMo lists only 32-bit parts in the GUI, but the log shows all (albeit w/o exe helpers): <...> Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 454/458 : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_3_300_270.dll Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 453/458 : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_11_3_300_270_ActiveX.dll Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 452/458 : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_11_3_300_270.ocx Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 451/458 : C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF64_11_3_300_270.dll Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 450/458 : C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil64_11_3_300_270_ActiveX.dll Verbose [12-08-07 21:18:59] Loading 449/458 : C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash64_11_3_300_270.ocx <...> According to MiTeC EXE Explorer (http://www.mitec.cz/exe.html [^]) all these files are properly tagged 64-bit PE binaries: Machine = AMD64 (0x8664) PEType = PE32+ (0x020b) So, both 32 and 64 bit Flash components are correctly found while scanning, but somehow 64-bit parts get lost later on. Could this be due to duplicate items filter usage in the list? If so, you also need to take into account full file names (with paths) when filtering, not just {Product;Company} combo. P.S. Here is the official Microsoft PE and COFF Specification just in case: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/gg463125 [^]

(0001039) bytehead (updater) 2012-08-08 01:36 edited on: 2012-08-08 01:40	Btw, this problem is not unique to Flash. JRE 6/7 has exactly the same issue, only reversed in my case. SUMo initially detected all 32- and 64-bit installations of both JRE 6 and JRE 7 branches, while ended up listing only x64 components (except for Java Update tools and Java Quick Starter binary which don't have 64-bit counterparts). Investigating further, it seems to be a generic problem of mutual exclusion of items that have the same {Product;Company;Version(?)} tagging, disregarding both file name and location differences. That means that the issue has nothing to do with the 32/64 bitness per se and if you have several copies of the same file just in different locations, SUMo will list only one instance, too! Just verified it.

(0001042) Kyle_Katarn (administrator) 2012-08-08 09:26	This will automatically solved as soon as SUMo will detec these files as 64bits variants, either thru PE32+ or file names. Then, (64 bits) will be added to its product name and it would no longer be removed by duplicate filter (same product / company /version)

(0001043) Kyle_Katarn (administrator) 2012-08-08 10:16	Would you please zip and attache all files in this directory, so that i can test on my machine ?

(0001048) bytehead (updater) 2012-08-08 20:09	Hoorey! I seem to have found the root cause of these 32/64-bit issues. See bug 0001668 for details. P.S. this was a nasty one! ;)
