LabVIEW function to detect 32 Bit (X86 Program Files) vs 64 Bit (Program Files) System?

[jonathanupr]

I am looking for a LabVIEW function that detects whether the system is a 32 bit or 64 bit system.  The reason for this is that I need to change our file paths to draw from either the X86 Program Files folder or the Program Files folder, I'd rather do this programatically so as not having to do it manually each time.

Thanks.

Use "Application Directory" for relative paths from your EXE in "Program Files".

Otherwise, use "Get System Directory.vi" and select "Application Files" as option.
