Sorry I do't have XP 64 bit for test
So please test the next snippet it is much shorter and clear (the SYSTEM_INFO structure is about( The Processor

Happy new year

Yes Mr Rashad, this code returns 64 bit on my win 7 64 bit system.

Happy new year to you too, my friend

Returns x86 for me, running Vista x64 SP2 and PB4.4 x86.

Debug GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE") returns "x86" instead of "AMD64" which is what it is set to in the Env Vars.

Returns the right values when I run it via PB4.4 x64
