Detecting if a file is 32 or 64 bit
I need to check if a file (in this case an executable) of an installed program is 32 or 64 bit. Does installshield provide a method to do this? I was thinking something with GetFileInfo(), but it doesn't seem to provide any options of finding if the file is 32 or 64 bit.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Detects only executable files. This API fails for dlls and other binaries.
