SCORCH 2019 32 bit Powershell

Question

Hey all,

I'm running SCORCH 2019 UR3 update.

When I use the .NET Script activity to run Powershell, SCORCH will now only run 32 bit Powershell. I've added the registry key fix for OnlyUseLatestCLR but it is still only running 32 bit Powershell.

Is there anyway to force SCORCH to use 64 bit Powershell instead?

Answer 1

Hi @Hi @Anonymous ,

the OnlyUseLatestCLR doesn't switch from 32-bit to 64-bit PowerShell version. The reg-key is forcing SCORCH to use the latest version, which is still a 32-bit PowerShell version.

Hi @Anonymous ,

SCORCH 2019 will always start a 32-bit PowerShell if you use .NET Script activity.
But you can start a 64-bit PowerShell from the 32-bit PowerShell ;-)

It's the only workaround I am aware for SCORCH 2019.

Hey @Andreas Baumgarten

Thanks for the response. Does the previous workaround for this from SCORCH 2012 not work? This involved adding the Registry Key I mentioned in my initial comment.

Cheers,
