32-bit program using Office IFilters when 64-bit Office is installed
- by user56312
64-bit Office installs 64-bit IFilters for its document types, but does not install 32-bit IFilters. Therefore, 32-bit programs that rely on IFilters cannot work with 64-bit Office. And although there is an option to download 32-bit IFilters from Microsoft, the installer will not run on a 64-bit machine, complaining about architecture mismatch.
Is there any way to make 32-bit programs extract text from Office documents using IFilters when 64-bit Office is installed?
Thanks.
