- determine x64
- Posted by Hua-Ying Ling on February 6th, 2006
Hi,
I need to determine which version of my driver to load depending of if it is
a 32-bit or 64 bit OS. What's a reliable way to determine if I am running on
some x64 version of windows. I could always check the OS version with
GetVersionEx but that doesn't seem reliable.
Thanks
Hua-Ying

GetNativeSystemInfo is a good way to tell if you are running on x64 in
general. However, there are better ways to do driver installation than
calling GetNativeSystemInfo and having two packages, you should read what
Pavel A posted for specifically driver installs.

Thanks for the links and suggestions, that definitely answered my question.
The problem with search engines is you need the exact terminology =( I tried
several searches and came up with zip.
