SysWOW64
"WOW64" - Windows on Windows 64, can be thoughted of as subsystem for 32-bit appliation. When 32-bit application access the 'System32', OS actually redirects it to SysWOW64 folder and tells it that this is System32 folder, so SysWoW64 is transparent to application.
Putting 64-bit files in System32 folder looks wierd but it's reasonable because many applications hard code system32 dir in code and it's so much overhead to redirect all the request by 64-bit application on 64-bit OS, so Microsoft decided to do the other way around.
