我发现这是检查系统平台和流程的最佳方法:

bool 64BitSystem = Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem;
bool 64BitProcess = Environment.Is64BitProcess;

第一个属性对于64位系统返回true，对于32位系统返回false。 第二个属性对于64位进程返回true，对于32位进程返回false。

需要这两个属性是因为您可以在64位系统上运行32位进程，因此需要检查系统和进程。

只要看看“C:\Program Files (x86)”是否存在。如果不是，那么你使用的是32位操作系统。如果是这样，那么操作系统是64位(Windows Vista或Windows 7)。

我在许多操作系统上都成功地使用了这个检查:

private bool Is64BitSystem
{
   get
   {
      return Directory.Exists(Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(@"%windir%\SysWOW64"));
   }
}

不管操作系统的语言是什么，这个文件夹总是命名为“SysWOW64”。这适用于。net Framework 1.1或更高版本。

我使用以下版本:

    public static bool Is64BitSystem()
    {
        if (Directory.Exists(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("Program Files (x86)"))) return true;
        else return false;
    }

还可以检查PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE环境变量。

它要么不存在，要么在32位Windows上被设置为“x86”。

private int GetOSArchitecture()
{
    string pa = 
        Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE");
    return ((String.IsNullOrEmpty(pa) || 
             String.Compare(pa, 0, "x86", 0, 3, true) == 0) ? 32 : 64);
}

这是一个基于微软http://1code.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/39074#842775代码的解决方案。它使用扩展方法方便代码重用。

下面是一些可能的用法:

bool bIs64BitOS = System.Environment.OSVersion.IsWin64BitOS();

bool bIs64BitProc = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Is64BitProc();
