The Problem
I came across the following error while trying to run the Sysinternals Process Explorer program.
Unable to extract 64-bit image. Run Process Explorer from a writeable directory.
What’s Going On?
Process Explorer extracts and executes the appropriate x86 or x64 binary for the platform you’re on, and therefore requires elevated privileges (i.e. “Administrative rights”).
This can sometimes be a headache if you’re operating in an environment where you have “limited” access rights.
