Hi again Rod,
But if the one line doesn't work, here's a function made from the code
snippet you found for us; I'd be interested to hear if it works better for
you than the one line I was using:
Option Explicit
speak Is64Win()
Function Is64Win()
' returns true if 64-bit windows
Dim ObjWMI, ColSettings, ObjProcessor
Dim StrComputer, ObjNetwork
Is64Win = False
Set ObjNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
StrComputer = Trim(ObjNetwork.ComputerName)
Set ObjNetwork = Nothing
Set ObjWMI = GetObject("WINMGMTS:" &
"{ImpersonationLevel=Impersonate,AuthenticationLevel=Pkt}!\\" & StrComputer
& "\Root\CIMV2")
'StrComputer = "."
'Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" '&
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & 'StrComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set ColSettings = ObjWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor")
For Each ObjProcessor In ColSettings
Is64Win = (ObjProcessor.AddressWidth = 64)
Next
Set ObjProcessor = Nothing: Set ColSettings = Nothing: Set ObjWMI =
Nothing: StrComputer = vbNullString
End Function

Hi Rod,
Instead of using the GW toolkit object, try this one line of code instead
(which returns true if you are on 64 bit Windows); it works for me in
correctly identifying that I am running on 32 bit Windows; what does it tell
you re your 64 bit Windows?
Speak desktopWindow.process.Is64Bit
Thanks.
Chip

Subject: Identifying 64-bit system
Hi guys,
One thing I noticed is that the current version of the GW Toolkit shared
object called Is64bitOS doesn't seem to properly detect that my Dell Windows
7 x64 Home Premium system is indeed 64-bit.
I've tested this with Window-Eyes 8.4, as well as version 9.1 on the same
Dell system, in the latter case, running in a virtual machine.
I googled and found the following MS Technet page where it had the vbScript
code as well as a download link for a script which does the job very well,
since it accurately reports my system as 64-bit:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Determine-If-Your-System-
969670e3
I was wondering if anyone has also noticed this failure in the performance
of the current version of the GW Toolkit shared Object called Is64bitOS, or
whether this is specific to my system.
Also, I would be interested to know if anyone has any other ideas on this
issue.
Thanks,
Rod
