I have a Excel macro file that is working in 32 bit environment. But it is not working in 64 bit. My question is pretty similar to this one Excel File not working on one computer but will on another.

Here is the code and the x64Solution() function.

VBA Code: 
Private Sub AmnestyFind()
Dim nowUTC As U, utcDate As Date, utcDiff As Double
Dim body$
Dim Strt(1 To 2)
Dim Ennd(1 To 2)
   
    fc = UCase(mainn.[b1])
    Strt(1) = mainn.[B8].Value
    Ennd(1) = mainn.[C8].Value
    Strt(2) = mainn.[B9].Value
    Ennd(2) = mainn.[C9].Value
 

For z = 1 To 2
  
    Set H = CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1")
    #If Win64 Then
        Set x64 = x64Solution()
        x64.execScript "Function CreateObjectx86(sProgID): Set CreateObjectx86 = CreateObject(sProgID): End Function", "VBScript"
        Set S = x64.CreateObjectx86("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
    #Else
        Set S = CreateObject("ScriptControl")
    #End If
    S.Language = "JScript"
    S.AddCode "function keys(O) { var k = new Array(); for (var x in O) { k.push(x); } return k; } "
   
    Call GetSystemTime(nowUTC)
    utcDate = nowUTC.a1 & "-" & nowUTC.a2 & "-" & nowUTC.A4 & " " & nowUTC.A5 & ":" & nowUTC.A6 & ":" & nowUTC.A7
    utcDiff = utcDate - Now()
   
    body = "{""index"":""quality_intelligence_amnesty"",""search_type"":""count"",""ignore_unavailable"":true}"
    body = body & Chr(10)
    body = body & "{""query"":{""filtered"":{""query"":{""query_string"":{""query"":""problem_status: \""Resolved\"""",""analyze_wildcard"":true}},""filter"":{""bool"":{""must"":[{""query"":{""query_string"":{""analyze_wildcard"":true,""query"":"
    body = body & """order"":{""1"":""desc""}},""aggs"":{""1"":{""sum"":{""field"":""addback_quantity""}}}}}}}}"
    body = body & Chr(10)

    With H
        .SetAutoLogonPolicy 0
        .Open "GET", "url"
        .SetClientCertificate "CURRENT_USER\MY\" & Environ("USERNAME")
        .Send
        .Open "POST", "url=" & (Now() - 25569 + utcDiff) * 86400
        .Send body
        .WaitForResponse
    End With

    Set JSON = S.Eval("(" & H.responseText & ")")
    Debug.Print H.responseText
    Set JSON = CallByName(JSON, "responses", VbGet)
    Set JSON = CallByName(JSON, "0", VbGet)
    Set JSON = CallByName(JSON, "aggregations", VbGet)
    Set JSON = CallByName(JSON, "3", VbGet)
    Set JSON = CallByName(JSON, "buckets", VbGet)
    Set Keys = S.Run("keys", JSON)

    For Each Key In Keys
        If CallByName(CallByName(JSON, Key, VbGet), "key", VbGet) = "T" Then
            a = CallByName(CallByName(JSON, Key, VbGet), "doc_count", VbGet)

----------------------------------------------------------------
VBA Code: 
Private Function x64Solution()
    Dim druifj, kindle
    On Error Resume Next
    druifj = Left(CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib").GUID, 38)
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "%systemroot%\syswow64\mshta.exe about:""about:<head><script>moveTo(-32000,-32000);document.title='x86Host'</script><hta:application showintaskbar=no /><object id='shell' classid='clsid:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2'><param name=RegisterAsBrowser value=1></object><script>shell.putproperty('" & druifj & "',document.parentWindow);</script></head>""", 0, False
    Do
        For Each kindle In CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
            Set x64Solution = kindle.GetProperty(druifj): If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Function
            Err.Clear
        Next kindle
    Loop
End Function
--------------------------------------------------------------

This is actually what happens. It run up to the very first
VBA Code: 
#If Win64 Then
Then it jump right to the
VBA Code: 
Private Function x64Solution()

Then it infinitely looping in the For loop which is
VBA Code: 
For Each kindle In CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
            Set x64Solution = kindle.GetProperty(druifj): If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Function
            Err.Clear
        Next kindle



Any help will be really appreciated. Thank you

A 'Do' loop requires an exit condition. Example:
VBA Code: 
    Do While x < 900
        x = x + 1
    Loop
where x < 900 is the exit condition.

or
VBA Code: 
    Do
        x = x + 1
    Loop Until x >= 900


Your 'Do' loop:
VBA Code: 
    Do
        For Each kindle In CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
            Set x64Solution = kindle.GetProperty(druifj): If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Function
            Err.Clear
        Next kindle
    Loop

has no exit condition.

Appreciate your reply! I'm really not sure what should be the exit condition or what is the loop does. So I removed the " Do " loop and tested only with the For loop, but it does not work either. Any idea for that?

You need to modify your Do loop so that the construction is either Do ... While <condition is true> or else a "Loop .....until <condition is true>" (see my earlier examples above). What the condition should be is for you to say, not me. There is not enough information for me to assess why you have a Do loop there. I don't see a need, but I have limited context. This sub is badly coded in general

VBA Code: 
Private Function x64Solution()
    Dim druifj, kindle
    On Error Resume Next
    druifj = Left(CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib").GUID, 38)
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "%systemroot%\syswow64\mshta.exe about:""about:<head><script>moveTo(-32000,-32000);document.title='x86Host'</script><hta:application showintaskbar=no /><object id='shell' classid='clsid:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2'><param name=RegisterAsBrowser value=1></object><script>shell.putproperty('" & druifj & "',document.parentWindow);</script></head>""", 0, False
    Do
        For Each kindle In CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
            Set x64Solution = kindle.GetProperty(druifj): If Err.Number = 0 Then Exit Function
            Err.Clear
        Next kindle
    Loop
End Function

Lack of proper variable data type declaration and turning off runtime error checking On Error Resume Next make it a lot harder to assess what is going on. Error messages can provide valuable information that can help to identify why things are not working. If it were me, I would revert everything back to the known-good 32 bit code and then start working though any errors seen under 64bit one by one.

Yes I got what you said but the problem is I have no clear idea about that is the condition to add into Do ... While . I'm not really sure that is this druifj and kindle objects are doing.

So the code is not yours? You did not write it?

So I'm going to go ahead and assume that you did not write the code yourself. Unfortunately I don't know what was in the programmer's mind and absent code comments or documentation to explain intent, I cannot guess at why it was written that way. It does look like the reason for all that new complicated code is because the 32-bit "ScriptControl" component is not supported in 64 bit. However, there supposedly is a 64-bit drop-in replacement (Tabalacus script control) that may be worth looking at:

github.com

GitHub - tablacus/TablacusScriptControl: Script Control for 64-bit platforms

Script Control for 64-bit platforms. Contribute to tablacus/TablacusScriptControl development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com github.com

I say "supposedly" because I have no direct knowledge or experience with it. It's suitability, or lack thereof would be for you to determine.

No.. It's not my code I didn't write it. I found this while I was trying to do some similar type of work and I though I can use this code to implement what I want. I will try this Git and see what is over there.

What I think is this has written in a 32 bit version and they tried to implement it in to 64 in a case any user want to run it in 64.
