I was looking at some libraries with dumpbin and I noticed that all the 64-bit versions were linked to KERNEL32. Is there no KERNEL64 on 64-bit Windows? If not, why?
All my operating systems are 32-bit so I can't just look. A google search brings up nothing worthwhile so I suspect that there is no KERNEL64 but I'm still curious as to why this is.
EDIT: I found this later which is pretty useful. MSDN guide to x64

The Kernel32. dll found in C:\Windows\System32 is really 64 bit code on an x64 machine.
In simple term, the Kernel32. dll errors are caused by a conflict between one or more programs trying to access the memory protected area occupied by kernel32. dll. This error can be caused by a specific program, multiple files or programs.
It's always called kernel32.dll, even on 64-bit windows. This is for the same compatibility reasons that system32 contains 64-bit binaries, while syswow64 contains 32-bit binaries.
