Do I have 32 or 64 Bit Windows XP

[Nito Pereira]

I need to find a way of determining if the current system
is runing XP 64bit. I am creating a script to deliver MS03-
032 and one of the patches require XP 64 bit. but I can't
find a way of detecting if the system is 64bit. The
closest was reading PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment\ .

Can anyone help

You have the 32 bit version.

Windows XP Home = 32 bit.
Windows XP Pro = 32 bit.
Windows XP Media Center Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition = 32 bit
Windows XP 64 bit Edition = 64 bit.

Start, run, type in: winver, hit enter.

If you have to ask, it's 32bit.

I know I have 32bit.. I was wondering if there is anyone
has created a script that can determine if the OS is 64bit.
Either from a registry key or by calling an API.

Visual confirmation is no good to me I need to be able to
include the checking in a script.

You have 32-bit.

How do I know? Because you had to ask.

Sorry about the folks answering the question you did not ask - so many
newbies have been screaming "do I have 32 or 64 bit windows" that it's
become an automatic reply.

How does key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0 work for
you? Just a stab in the dark.
