Is any code available to check to see if you are running under a 64-bit O/S?

You can use this code.


*Use WMI to retrieve the Windows bit level.

*Adapted from http://csi-windows.com/toolkit/csi-getosbits

obj = OleCreateInstance("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")

WMIObj = OleCallMethod(obj, "ConnectServer", ".", "root\cimv2")

ArchObj = OleCallMethod(WMIObj, "Get", "Win32_Processor='cpu0'")



*Returns 32 or 64 depending on OS - not CPU architecture.

bits = OleGetProperty(ArchObj, "AddressWidth" )

Keep in mind you can run a 32bit OS on 64bit hardware. This appears to reliably return the architecture of the OS and not the hardware.
