Does anyone have any clever methods of telling if Windows is a 64 bit installation or 32 bit??

Now that we have both versions of the plug in it would be nice to install the right one.

from the command line:

wmic OS get OSArchitecture

 

So you can use that from Send Event, have it written to a text file and import the text file

If you use Get ( FileMakerPath ), you could test for the folder "Program Files (x86)".  While it's possible to install FM in the normal "Program Files" folder, it not recommended by Windows or other IT professionals. There could be issues with the dll files ( 32 vs 64 versions ) in those default locations.

 

The result comes back as: /C:/Program Files (x86)/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced/

Hello,

 

The 64-bit plugins included with 360 Works downloads are only intended for use with Custom Web Publishing on FileMaker Server 12v02 or later. With the release of FMS 12v02, the CWP process became a 64-bit process and requires a 64-bit plugin to interact with it. All other FileMaker processes are still 32-bit, and you should continue to use the 32-bit plugin with them. 

Good to know Joe.  Thanks for the update.
