howto distinguish Vista_32 and Vista_64?

[rudi]

Hi.

... and a happy new year!

A quite similar question has been asked here.

One of the answers was to check the result for @ProcessorArch:

"X86", "IA64" or "X64".

XP 32bit on a 32 bit CPU returns "X86"

Vista 64 returns "X64"

Currently Vista Business 64 and XP on 32bit CPU is all I have around here, so may I please ask, what are the return values for:

XP 32bit with a 64bit CPU?

XP 64bit?

Vista 32 on 32bit CPU?

Vista 32 on 64bit CPU?

Who has such installations to check the results, please?

MsgBox(0,"Windows Version","@OSVersion = " & @OSVersion & @lf & _
"@ProcessorArch = " & @ProcessorArch )

Thanks, Rudi

@OSVersion = WIN_2003
@ProcessorArch = X64

Is that what XP 64 is meant to return?

@OSArch will tell you what OS is running

@CPUArch will tell you what the cpu is capable of. These might be relatively new, I didn't see them listed in an older version.

@OSArch

XP 32bit with a 64bit CPU? X86

XP 64bit? X64

Vista 32 on 32bit CPU? X86

Vista 32 on 64bit CPU? X86

@CPUArch

XP 32bit with a 64bit CPU? X64

XP 64bit? X64

Vista 32 on 32bit CPU? X86

Vista 32 on 64bit CPU? X64

@OSArch is typically what's more important.

I have XP 32 running on a 64 bit CPU and it returned @OSArch as x86 and @CPUArch as x64 using 3.3. I ran an older version of AutoIT and @ProcessorArch returned x86.

@OSVersion will tell you what OS is running:

"WIN_2008", "WIN_VISTA", "WIN_2003", "WIN_XP", "WIN_2000".

@BrettF: Potentially. XP64 has more in common with server 2003 than XP. As an example, XP 32 bit got SP3, but XP-64 still has SP2 because that's the service pack level of Server 2003.

Yeahhh! after an update to 3.3 on *THAT* PC I see it. (missed to update to the latest Autoit on that PC....)

Thanks!
