Re: Force IE x86 call from script in x64 system

I don't have access to any Win64 machines to
check the Registry, but you should be able to
edit it there. HKCR\InernetExplorer.Application
points to

HKCR\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

In

HKCR\CLSID\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\LocalServer32

You should find the path to IE, which you can change
to the 32-bit path. It's possible that there are two
different objects, but I doubt it. I expect the typelib,
etc. is essentially the same in both. But if you don't
find the same GUID as above under

HKCR\InernetExplorer.Application

then there might be two separate objects using the
same ProgID, in which case you'd probably need to
change the GUID there rather than the path under
LocalServer32
