How does one tell which type (32 or 64-bit) one has? It's not mentioned in the "About" section.-IainB (September 01, 2016, 12:06 PM)

Check the install location. If it's in "Program Files" then it's 64-bit. If it's in "Program Files (x86)" then it's 32-bit.-Deozaan (September 02, 2016, 02:54 AM)

- eh, no! On a 32-bits system the %1% is "Program Files", because there is no other system.

In which case if you try to run a 64 bit exe you'll get an error anyway.

^oh yes, of course
So I was saying the right thing, but barking up the wrong tree. :-[

When Microsoft wants to jump from one "bitness" to another, like calling a 32 bit routine from 64 bit code, they use a "thunk." My theory is that the programmer who thought up that idea conjugated the verb "to think" as "think" "thank" "thunk." :) At least that's what I thunk when I read it the first time. :)

If you have a 32-bit system, you don't have the problem. You couldn't install the 64-bit so it must be 32-bit. :Thmbsup:
