[Solved]This is weird..

[adik2dmax666]

I created a youtube downloader which i compiled as x86 and x64.

now i have youtubedownloader_x86.exe and youtubedownloader_x64.exe.

I have this initialize script

If @CPUArch = "x64" Then
        ShellExecute("youtubedownloader_x64.exe")
    Else
        ShellExecute("youtubedownloader_x86.exe")
    EndIf

Im currently running on a x32 xp . meaning i should run the x86 app.

Why does @CPUArch return "x64" but my os is a 32bit xp. all x64 app errors "not valid win32 app"...

Run this and see what it returns

MsgBox(4096, "@CPUArch", @CPUArch)

You can run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit processor (AMD64 or Intel 64) but you can't run 64-bit apps on a 32-bit OS.

Try @OSArch instead.

solved!

MsgBox(4096, @OSArch, @OSArch)

The difference between CPU and OS architecture is that the CPU will always be some set value. You can run a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit processor.
