Determine OS and run appropriate exe.
Hi all. I am fairly new to this so please bear with me.

I am trying to figure out how to determine if the person installing is running 64 bit Vista or a 32 bit OS, and I can 't seem to find a way to do that.

Also I am sure this is probably very basic, and I am still searching help to try to figure it out, but once I know what OS I have I want to run either

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe /codebase

or

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe /codebase

I think I have the Exec statement worked out, but I am not sure how to do a If - Then type of function.

Hmmm maybe that is the answer? I try to run the 64 version and if it fails I run the 32 bit one?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Please have a look at these files, should be easy to use ;)

NSIS\Include\WinVer.nsh
NSIS\Include\x64.nsh


Also this Plugin might be helpful:

Fantastic. These look like they should do exactly what I want.

Thank you very much.
