get os version with vbscript X32 or X64

[THEWIPET]

Hi All..

i need to retriev the OS version from my script. I do it with WMI and got the information. by querying the ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
The things is the only way i found the make the difference between X32 and X64 is throught this field.

"Caption: " & objOperatingSystem.Caption

this is the result.
Caption: Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Standard X64 Edition

the result are a little bit cheeze cause i have to create another function to grab the X64 out of the caption. Do you have a faster way or i'm stuck with the InStr(test, "X64") function?

Thanks fo you help!

You might be stuck with that...but you may also take a look at

Win32_ComputerSystem and the SystemType property....I don't have a 64-bit system to test
