I have to run 32 bit CCleaner in 32 bit windows, but sometimes in 64 bit windows, I still mess up & make a mistake & run 32 bit CCleaner.
Having to have both 32 & 64 bit means there is greater chance for err, & also that I have more files...
Does anyone know any scripts, programs, or SFX commands I can use automatically determine if an OS is 32 or 64 bit, then launch the correct version of CCleaner in a folder?
Ideally, I would love to be able to use a RAR SFX command, but I am open to ideas & suggestions for other apps/scripts/ideas as well.
If u know any way(s) to pull this off, please enlighten me! I am stumped!
Yes. The "x86-64" architecture is commonly referred to as AMD64 because AMD invented it, even when talking about Intel processors.
Checking for the presence of SysWoW64 is a hack, and might stop working in the next version of Windows
(Intel's 64-bit architecture is the Itanium, which failed in the consumer market because it lacks compatibility with 32- and 16-bit instructions - which is also the reason they created UEFI since the standard BIOS is 16-bit only)
It's Vista Basic, 3 yrs old with a 2 Ghz Celeron 440, RAM maxed out at 2 Gigs, so I can't upgrade. It'll become a backup unit in November when I spring for a quad core box with 8 Gigs RAM. Prices drop like a stone in November, so I gotta wait till then cos I'm a bargain hunter.
As a realist, I'm not expecting UEFI to be on the new unit.
