How to determine OS Platform with WMI?

Question

I am trying to figure out if there is a location in WMI that will return the OS Architecture (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit) that will work across \"all\" versions of Windows. I though

Answer 1

Use the following WMI class and property - This should work on 2003/XP and Win7/2008R2

ROOT\CIMV2\Win32_Processor
AddressWidth

From Technet:

On a 32-bit operating system, the value is 32 and on a 64-bit operating system it is 64. This property is inherited from CIM_Processor.
