Copy/Move on 64bit machines

I have created two task. One for 32 bit and the other for 64 bit. My 32 bit move works fine, however the one for 64 bit keeps stating failed. I’ve ensured the file is not in the path. Below i have both my 32 bit and 64 bit task. Any help on what i’m missing would be appreciated.

32 BIT:
// All SWD files will go into a folder in the clients __BESData folder. This folder gets cleared on every restart.
parameter “baseFolder” = “__Download/”
// Move files into subfolders and unescape file names
delete "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\2015 South State.thmx"
move “__Download/7C4A8D8CBE29791766AAB8062C751FC0B766A0C8” "{parameter “baseFolder”}2015 South State.thmx"
copy “__Download/2015 South State.thmx” “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\2015 South State.thmx”

64 BIT
// All SWD files will go into a folder in the clients __BESData folder. This folder gets cleared on every restart.
parameter “baseFolder” = “__Download/”
// Move files into subfolders and unescape file names
move “__Download/7C4A8D8CBE29791766AAB8062C751FC0B766A0C8” "{parameter “baseFolder”}2015 South State.thmx"
delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\2015 South State.thmx"
move “__Download/7C4A8D8CBE29791766AAB8062C751FC0B766A0C8” "{parameter “baseFolder”}2015 South State.thmx"
copy “__Download/2015 South State.thmx” “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\2015 South State.thmx”

I got it by proof reading. Thanks all the same community.

As the BESClient is a 32 bit application you have to turn off the Wow64 redirection for C:\Program Files to not point at the 32 bit path.

See: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS63NW_9.0.0/com.ibm.tem.doc_9.0/Platform/Action/c_action_uses_wow64_redirection.html

You potentially could combine this into a single action using program files x32 folder
