Only set **automatically by the OS**- there's presumably nothing stopping someone from setting such an environment variable for their own purposes should they choose so to do. Why would they? Who knows. But they *could*. Perhaps if they wanted to fool an app that used a crude 64-bitness detection algorithm into doing something it otherwise wouldn't... ;) -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of John Bird Sent: Monday, 13 December 2010 13:47 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Help Detecting Windows Version ?http://stackoverflow.com/questions/601089/detect-whether-current-windows-ve rsion-is-32-bit-or-64-bit easiest way depends on whether Windows 7 or Server 2008, or older.
