Is it possible to read process memory of a 64 bit process from a 32bit app?

Question

On windows 64 bit, I\'ve got a 32 bit process that reads the memory of other 32 bit processes, and I\'d like it to be able to read 64 bit processes too.

ReadProcessM

Answer 1

The library wow64ext seems to have solved this problem and offers a function ReadProcessMemory64 The Visual Studio Extension VSDebugTool seems to use this library and works for me with 64 bit processes.

Anyway, it shouldn't be impossibe because the (32 bit) Visual Studio Debugger handles 64 bit Debuggees very well.
