Title: Identifying whether a system is 32 or 64 bit
Post by: joebandit on May 03, 2014, 08:14:12 PM

Searching revealed no definitive answers so here goes, I have winversion telling me that 8.1 is 2-6.3 ok, but how does one tell whether the system is 32 or 64 bit other than checking to see if there exists a Program Files(x86), which I have already found isn't a viable solution as I have a program that creates a program files(x86) folder on a 32 bit system.

I think this should do it.

Code (winbatch) Select

if Environment('ProgramW6432')!='' then display(5, 'Test for 64-bit','System is 64-bit')

Take a look at WinMetrics().

Local machine bitness can be determined using the WinMetrics Function.

Code (winbatch) Select

If WinMetrics(-7)|WinMetrics(-2)==3 Then Pause('Windows Bitness','64-bit Platform')
Else Pause('Windows Bitness','32-bit Platform')

Thanks all, I'll give a look at using one of them.
