Process.Start in WindowsSystem32 folder

Trying to launch a file located in System32 as administrator but it keeps telling me it doesn't exist.

Error: System can't find specified file
Build Target Platform is: x86.
Current OS: Windows 8.1 x64. I'd rather not have 2 different .exes for a 32 and 64 bit os.

p.StartInfo.Verb = 'runas';
p.StartInfo.FileName =
Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System),'Defrag.exe');
//above points to c:windowssystem32defrag.exe
p.StartInfo.Arguments = @'c: /A';
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();


I have also tried the following with no luck

p.StartInfo.FileName =
Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Windows), 'sysnative', 'Defrag.exe');


Update

Switched the app from x86 to Any CPU corrected the issue
