Objectdock Plus v2

Thanks for your reply.

I guess I wasn't clear.

Any shortcuts I attach directly to the dock work fine.

The problem is with a shortcut on the dock that opens a folder of program shortcuts, or drops down a list of those shortcuts (I have it selected to drop down a list). The list is all the commonly used programs on my computer. If I click on a shortcut for a 32-bit program, it runs OK. However, if I click on a 64-bit program, I get the error as stated below.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Comodo\Comodo Internet Security\cfp.exe

The specified path does not exist

Check the path and try again."

This error says it can't find the program (Comodo, in this case) in the 32-bit programs folder, which, of course, is true, because Comodo installs into the 64-bit programs folder.

So, the problem is, why does ObjectDock look in the wrong folder to find the program??? I have checked the shortcut over and over, and the program location (Target) is definitely shown as C:\Program Files\Comodo\Comodo Internet Security\cfp.exe.

If I open that same folder of program shortcuts, and then double-click on the Comodo shortcut, the program starts correctly.

Drag the Start Menu link to the dock. Re-start whatever program your linking to.

You would think that they would have been in trouble by now for saying it works with 64 bit... I hope you didn't pay for the Pro version, otherwise, you deserve to have your money back. I keep checking on the forums to see when they actually will have it fully working so I can buy it!

Same problem here, still no solution ?

Teach a man to fish....

any update on this ?

I've used %ProgramFiles% in my shortcut and the shortcut works directly from a folder but it doesn't work from OD (the same folder with shortcuts is pinned to OD and set to show folder in a menu )

is there some action from the support still pending or are we left alone with this ?

See Reply 1 that works for 64 bit programs from object dock 2 plus

I have used the same format for IE64,Palemoon64,Snipping tool and all launch just fine

when loading apps from the system32 folder  you need to replace "System32" with "Sysnative"

This problem should stop if you fill in the "Start in" box . I have not dropped a shortcut since I started doing this.

I am sorry snowak I did miss read the OP.   I see what you mean about the menu now . Have you tried using the flyout menu docklet?  You can add 64 bit programs to that and it works.

By creating a custom menu.

This is how i "fix" it:

copied from stacks help file:

Problem
x64 version of win 7
two Program Files folder. One for 64bit apps and one for 32bit apps. standalonestack gives error messages when I try to open a 64bit program over standalonestack 2:

---------------------
"Path to Shortcut"
The specified path does not exist.

Check the path, and then try again.
--------------------

For 32bit apps it works perfect

Temporary Fix
1. create a folder somewhere on your disk.
2. hold down shift on that folder, right-click and select open command window here.
3. type: mklink /D foldernameyoucreate "full path to original folder in quotes"
example: i created a folder called x64Fix on my disk to hold all my symbolic links for the apps that aren't working. i created my symbolic link inside of it like so (using photoshop as an example):
C:\x64Fix>mklink /D Photoshop "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)"
4. verify message that symbolic link was created (you should also see a shortcut arrow on the Photoshop folder).
5. You should then have a folder path like C:\x64Fix\Photoshop
6. Create your shortcut for the jumplist from C:\x64Fix\Photoshop folder path to the exe rather than the real path.
so, instead of your shortcut being:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe"
it will be
"C:\x64Fix\Photoshop\Photoshop.exe"

With repies that, it isn't any wonder ZubaZ is no longer in support.

That being said, Office has alway been a different sort of animal.

Glad I found this post.  I think I will hold off on the purchase of Star / Object Dock.  The lack of proper response from support in this thread does not inspire confidence.  Nice work around but that is insane to have to do all of that when Windows 64 has been mainstream for so many years.
