Hi,

Just wondering, if I install a Windows service from 64-bit process (service code embedded in the process), is the service itself Win32 service or can services be 64-bit as well?

I need to know this since my service would inject code to Win32-process, so due to WOW64 restrictions the service-process itself cannot be 64-bit.

Best regards,
