So a 32 bit client running under windows 64 bit on 64 bit hardware detects as 32 bit?
Yes it does. And yes, it is correct bahavior from WPKG point of view. The reason is that in case WPKG (WSH script) runs in 32-bit WSH interpreter, then it has no possibilities to access virtualized 64-bit file system or registry elements.
As a result WPKG running in 32-bit WSH environment can only work with 32-bit software. For example checking uninstall entries for 64-bit software is not possible when WPKG is running wrongly in 32-bit WSH environment.
Though you can still run 32-bit WPKG client if you manually run %SystemRoot%\sysnative\cscript.exe instead of 32-bit cscript.exe. But I strongly recommend to use 64-bit WPKG client directly.
Only when run in 64-bit WSH environment WPKG can work with all 64-bit system properties, and only in this setup it makes sense to detect the system as being a 64-bit system.
