Hello,

I have a problem with PDF generation in windows azure containers.

It was working great up until a recent msft feb 2020 security update to the host OS, which causes a situation where if your container OS doesn't exactly match the host OS, then some things don't work. You can read about it here if interested:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4542617/you-might-encounter-issues-when-using-windows-server-containers-with-t

but what matters in this context is that one of the issues is that 32 bit processes don't work when only one of the container or OS has the security update.

And so, as a result, my application fails to start up the eowp processes when it comes time to generate PDFs.

So, my question is - is there any way to get the various renderer processes to run in 64 bits?

I took a shot at this:

EO.Base.Runtime.InitWorkerProcessExecutable(@"c:\windows\syswow64\rundll.32.exe");

and while it did cause that version of rundll32.exe to be used, the rendering processes don't start up correctly and it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
roger

Figured, but had to ask.
Thanks.
