Answer» Hi all:
I'm CREATING a batch script that I'd like to count on for installing a Help 2 SYSTEM to both 32 and 64 bit architecture. I'm hoping to avoid an architecture CONDITIONAL statement in the script. I'm installing to whateverdrive:\Program FILES\Foo\Help2. For the 64 bit architecture I'll need to install to whateverdrive:\Program Files(x86)\Foo\Help2.
My thinking is that I can use the %ProgramFiles% variable to determine the architecture. For instance:
echo %ProgramFiles% on my PC will return C:\Program Files, WHEREAS echo %ProgramFiles(x86)% echos my input, %ProgramFiles(x86)%. I don't have a 64 bit box to test on yet, will that variable return whateverdrive:\Program files(x86) on a 64 bit PC?
If so I want to make variable based on the echo return, which will act as an architecture indicator without having to actually specify hardware.
Am I out to lunch? Will I need an architecture condition?
Any help greatly appreciated
thanks
