Thanks Jorg and Jim. I appreciate the examples. It looks like there are lots of ways to accomplish this. -- Cannon.Smith Synergy Farm Solutions Inc. Hill Spring, AB Canada 403-626-3236 > On Apr 24, 2018, at 9:09 AM, Jim Hays via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com>

Re: Detecting 64-bit OS

Just in case you haven't rolled your own yet: Win32API plugin: sys_IsWow64Process(isWow64) isWoW64 = 1 means 4D is 32 bit running on 64 bit Windows. On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 3:12 PM, John Baughman via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > I test for 64bit with… > > If (Test path

Re: Detecting 64-bit OS

Thanks Julio, Jeff, and John. It was definitely an English computer with regular settings. From your answers, I gather that the way I was doing it was rather brittle. Registry settings sound like the best way to go forward (until v17, anyway). Thanks for your replies. I appreciate it. --

Re: Detecting 64-bit OS

String matching is a bad way to do this kind of thing. If you have a plug-in like Win32API that can read the registry, this would probably work: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/556009 HTH, Jeff -- Jeffrey Kain jeffrey.k...@gmail.com > On Apr 23, 2018, at 2:04 PM, Julio

Re: Detecting 64-bit OS

Cannon, I believe that code only works if the Regional Settings establish English as the main language. In other languages that folder name gets translated by Windows, so your code would fail. Was the computer that reported a failure set to French by any chance? hth julio > On Apr 23, 2018,
