Is there any way to know TestComplete/TestExecute running in 64 bit or 32 Bit in scripts?

Do we have option in scripts to get TestComplete/TestExecute running in 64 bit or 32 Bit?   something like is64Bit()

    Now, I gotta multiple ways of doing this scenario right. I'm currently having below function.

     

    function is64BitClient()
{
      var tcprocess = Sys.WaitProcess("Test*te", 0);
      
      if(tcprocess.Exists)
      {
            if(tcprocess.ProcessType == "x64")
            {
                  return true;
            }
            else if(tcprocess.ProcessType == "x86")
            {
                  return false;
            }
            else
            {
                  throw "Not able to grab the process type";
            }
      }
      throw "Not able to find the TestComplete/TestExecute process";   
}

    Thanks everyone for your insights on this.

Hi,

 

Not sure something like this exists 'out-of-the-box'.

Quick idea: get Sys.Process('Test*te') process and check its .Path property. If it contains 'x64' then TestComplete/TestExecute is of 64-bit architecture.

Em-m...
Update: Every process has .ProcessType property, so the check like

if (x86 == process.ProcessType)

  ...

seems to be more reliable than launch path parsing.

    Here is the code I'm using now to get the is64Bit(),

     

    function is64BitClient()
{
      var tcprocess = Utils.CreateStubObject();
      
      if(Sys.Process("TestComplete").Exists)
      {
            tcprocess = Sys.Process("TestComplete");
      }
      else if(Sys.Process("TestExecute").Exists)
      {
            tcprocess = Sys.Process("TestExecute");     
      }
      
      if(tcprocess.Exists)
      {
            if(tcprocess.ProcessType == "x64")
            {
                  return true;
            }
            else if(tcprocess.ProcessType == "x86")
            {
                  return false;
            }
            else
            {
                  throwCustomError("Not able to grab the process type");
            }
      }
      throwCustomError("Not able to find the TestComplete/TestExecute process");
}
