Run 32bits app (DIRUSE) in PE 64bits

[gustavo21]

Hi everyone. I´m using a 64bits winpe to transfer 64bits system (7 and 8.1). Also have a script to backup files but in this script i use DIRUSE to check the sizes of the folders to know if  have enough available space before start transfer to the external hard drive. I use robocopy too. 

I attach a snap of the script running in windows. The script was made to backup only some folders of the user (Dwnld, Docs, Pics, Fav, Vids and Music).

I try with a vbs but only can scan a complete folder, not separete folders and sum the sizes like Diruse.

 

I need any kind of help!

 

 

Regards!

Where exactly did you get diruse.exe from? If it is from Server 2003, you can see if there is a 64bit binary available in Server 2003 64bit edition.

I downloaded DIRUSE.EXE from Microsoft webpage, There was only 32bits version available... 

 

 

I´m wondering if i can apply a 64bits image from a WindowsPE 32 bits...

You can add 32 bit support (WOW64 subsystem) to your 64 bit PE.

See:

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/167983-how-to-add-wow64-to-simple-win8pe/

But maybe you can use *something* else.

Wouldn't the output of a "normal" DIR /S be enough for your uses? (though it is not "as accurate" as diruse or diskuse are, the difference is usually very little and surely you don't want to "fill up to the brim" the target)
