I think you should get the Pithy Response of the Month
for that one.

Actually, Mayayana considered firing up HxD and
documenting the actual header differences, but then
he had a moment of common sense and realized:

* SteveGG asks dumb questions for no apparent reason.

* SteveGG can't even be bothered to pick the right
newsgroup, often multi-posting to both Win7 and
Win10.

* Who cares? If I'm on 32-bit and try to run 64-bit
it won't work. If I download an installer it tells me.
If I'm on 64-bit then I can tell by the parent folder.



If we're all under Win7 here, then I can give my answer. Look in Task
Manager, Processes.
*32 after an .exe means what it says on the tin.
