An application that sends an IOCTL_SFFDISK_DEVICE_COMMAND request to a Secure Digital (SD) card receives an error message on a 64-bit version of Windows Vista: “ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED”
Consider the following scenario:
- You develop an application that sends an IOCTL_SFFDISK_DEVICE_COMMAND request to a Secure Digital (SD) card.
- You compile the application on a 32-bit version of Windows Vista.
In this scenario, the application obtains a “Success” value from the SD card. However, when a 64-bit version of Windows Vista uses the Microsoft Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64) subsystem to run the 32-bit application, the application obtains the following error message from the SD card:
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
