           Summary: kernel32 should export IsWow64Process
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: TRUNK
          Platform: QEmu
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Win32
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: samdwise51 at gmail.com

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684139(VS.85).aspx

IsWow64Process is available on windows since windows xp sp2 and if you
carefully read this paragraph:

"For compatibility with operating systems that do not support this function,
call  GetProcAddress to detect whether IsWow64Process is implemented in
Kernel32.dll. If GetProcAddress succeeds, it is safe to call this function.
Otherwise, WOW64 is not present. Note that this technique is not a reliable way
to detect whether the operating system is a 64-bit version of Windows because
the Kernel32.dll in current versions of 32-bit Windows also contains this
function."

you will notice that indeed it means that 32bit versions of windows have this
api.
Please re-add it to reactos, thank you...
