- Q. What is the purpose of the files ConEmuC.exe, ConEmuCD.dll and ConEmuHk .dll in 64-bit OS?
- Q. What is the purpose of the files ConEmuC64 .exe, ConEmuCD64.dll and ConEmuHk64 .dll in the 32-bit version of ConEmu ?
- Q. After running the commands start, echo (and other cmd.exe commands) on 64-bit systems, an error similar to “File not found. Cannot execute. start” appears
- Q. Attempts to launch applications (from Far Manager) causes a system error such as: ‘Error launching application (0xc0000142). Click “OK” to exit.’
- Q. What is going on with environment variables in 64-bit OS?
Q. What is the purpose of the files ConEmuC.exe, ConEmuCD.dll and ConEmuHk.dll in 64-bit OS?
A. These files are required for launching 32-bit applications, as
well as functioning of the 32-bit version of ConEmu. You will likely
at some point need to run a 32-bit console application from ConEmu -
without these files, it would not be possible. Out of principle, one
can use the 64-bit ConEmu64.exe, which is available in the
ConEmuSetup.*.exe package - it launches ConEmuC64.exe as the
root console process.
Q. What is the purpose of the files ConEmuC64.exe, ConEmuCD64.dll and ConEmuHk64.dll in the 32-bit version of ConEmu?
A. These files are required to run 64-bit applications in 64-bit OS.
Q. After running the commands start, echo (and other cmd.exe commands) on 64-bit systems, an error similar to “File not found. Cannot execute. start” appears
A. This is most likely caused by the absence of ConEmuC64.exe and accompanying ConEmuHk64.dll, ConEmuCD64.dll.
Q. Attempts to launch applications (from Far Manager) causes a system error such as: ‘Error launching application (0xc0000142). Click “OK” to exit.’
A. The cause is as of yet undiscovered - it is suspected to be a problem in Windows. Note that the error also appears without ConEmu. To restore proper function, restart the console (e.g. using Win-~).
Q. What is going on with environment variables in 64-bit OS?
A. ConEmu does not control environment variables.
