Where would the paths be located? There exists something like files system redirection in Windows VISTA and higher which will redirect certain paths like C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) to whatever the kernel considers the appropriate location for the current application based on its bitness. So eventhough you ask for C:\Windows\System32 in a 32 bit process, it will be directed to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 when run on a 64 bit OS! It's possible that LabVIEW attempts to be smart when trying to reference a DLL that is defined in the Call Library Node but won't second guess Windows decision when you define the dynamic path.
