What is Syswow64 DLL?

SysWOW64 is a directory within the Windows operating system that houses 32-bit versions of dynamic link libraries (DLLs) on 64-bit editions of Windows. This structure allows for the compatibility of 32-bit applications with the 64-bit version of Windows, enabling these applications to run without modification or additional software layers. The SysWOW64 directory mirrors the system directories such as System32 but contains only 32-bit DLLs and executable files.
