SetWindowsHookEx to hook microsft IME pad fails when office2007 is installed

on 64 bit machine



IME Capture is a utility application provided by Microsoft in Japanese OS

to provide character recognition for Japanese language.



In Windows Vista x64 Japanese, without office 2007 installed, IME Capture

and other IME applications run as 64-bit processes.



When office 2007 is installed, most office applications run as 32-bit

processes on the 64-bit OS. Office 2007 uses IME capture and other IME tools

to embed language support in its applications.



To start IME processes on startup, Office 2007 setup uses 32-bit IME

components and puts entries in

HKLM->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Run



IME components run as 32-2bit processes once office 2007 is installed.

Because of this SetWindowsHookEx fails

This is a user to user support newsgroup/forum so MS may not see your report.



I can send it up the ladder for you but would first like a few more details:



Which edition of Office 2007 is installed?

Is it a Japanese version, specifically?

Has SP2 (at least) been applied?

Any hotfixes or other updates applied?



Likewise, is Windows up to date with patches/SPs?



And finally, what is the practical effect of the problem? What symptoms does

the user see, what problem does this cause for you as (I assume) a developer?



And if you're a dev, can you make available some simple code example that will

demonstrate the problem?
