Output arch question

[bigbangnet]

When i compile my script i have the option of using x86 AND x64 at the same time. What happens if i use both ? Any negative impact on certain architectures ?

I'm asking cause i'm following a tutorial and in it I saw some script on display system information so I decided to make a new one for myself and I personalized it for my system (ipaddress, username, blah blah blah). Even if its simple information i wanted to know the effect on choosing x86 and x64 arch option in "Autoit3Wrapper GUI to Compile AutoIt3 Script.

here is my script if you guys are interested to know

If you use the line #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compile_Both=y it will create 2 different exe files, one x86 and one x64.

You are overthinking it. It just compiles twice. You get one file called Scriptname.exe and the other Scriptname_x64.exe

The it originated from.
