Determine x32 or x64?

[JohnMattson]

We are going to be switching to a mixed environment where we have some x32 and some x64 machines, both needing to run my Pro/TOOLKIT programs. Is there a function I can call which will tell me if I am on a x32 or x64 bit platform. The same code should work regardless, but I do need to change a few paths and namesdepending on whether it is x32 or x64, so I'd like to be able to handleboth platforms with the same program.

Thanks, John

John,
If you are writing a DLL then your compiled code will NOT work with both
environments. The DLL must be the same architecture as Pro/ENGINEER. What
I would do is compile a dll for both architectures and determine the
architecture at install time. Then install the appropriate DLL at that
time.

Perhaps you can use the "getenv" function and check the "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86" environment variable.

specify the path of dll file using $PRO_MACHINE_TYPE in protk.dat, such as:

exec_file .\$PRO_MACHINE_TYPE\myapp.dll

ProE set this variable self:

for x32: $PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=i486_nt

for x64: $PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64

so for the setup we can take no care of system plattform
