MPCHC and flash player #15

@The-Name-Is-Never-Right

I would like to point out a detail in the functioning of MPCHC (1.9.11 by clsid2) on Win10 with patched flashplayer.

After discovering a few months ago that MPCHC was no longer reading .swf files, I found that using "runasdate" by Nirsoft setting a date before the block (say December 2020), it still worked. I recently realized that this "trick" no longer worked, MPCHC told me it required "flash for internet explorer" if I tried to open an .sfw file.

So I discovered FlashPatcher by KuromeSan (and flashpatch by leecher1337). I recently installed KB5001391, if that has anything to do with it.
I'm sure I was using the 64bit version of MPCHC because I had downloaded the 64bit version of "runasdate".
The fact is that after using FlashPatcher, which seemed to be successful, it still asked me "flash for internet explorer".
So I tried to open IE11 (now it shows the Win10 version in the properties, so mine is 20H2) and I opened a .swf file from the address bar, and it worked, like a couple of randomly opened animations on the internet (always with IE11).

After hitting my head against the wall for a while and checking which files were patched, I thought "doesn't that only work with 32-bit applications?" I installed MPCHC 32bit and it worked.
I would like to know if this is normal and why, and if anyone knows why before the "runasdate" trick worked with the 64bit version.

Thank you all for your commitment and dedication.
