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);
}

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)。

这只是Bruno Lopez上面建议的一个实现，但适用于Win2k +所有的WinXP服务包。我只是想把它贴出来这样别人就不用亲手卷了。(本可以作为评论发布，但我是一个新用户!)

[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)]
public extern static IntPtr LoadLibrary(string libraryName);

[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)]
public extern static IntPtr GetProcAddress(IntPtr hwnd, string procedureName);

private delegate bool IsWow64ProcessDelegate([In] IntPtr handle, [Out] out bool isWow64Process);

public static bool IsOS64Bit()
{
    if (IntPtr.Size == 8 || (IntPtr.Size == 4 && Is32BitProcessOn64BitProcessor()))
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

private static IsWow64ProcessDelegate GetIsWow64ProcessDelegate()
{
  IntPtr handle = LoadLibrary("kernel32");

  if ( handle != IntPtr.Zero)
  {
    IntPtr fnPtr = GetProcAddress(handle, "IsWow64Process");

    if (fnPtr != IntPtr.Zero)
    {
      return (IsWow64ProcessDelegate)Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer((IntPtr)fnPtr, typeof(IsWow64ProcessDelegate));
    }
  }

  return null;
}

private static bool Is32BitProcessOn64BitProcessor()
{
  IsWow64ProcessDelegate fnDelegate = GetIsWow64ProcessDelegate();

  if (fnDelegate == null)
  {
    return false;
  }

  bool isWow64;
  bool retVal = fnDelegate.Invoke(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, out isWow64);

  if (retVal == false)
  {
    return false;
  }

  return isWow64;
}

下面是Windows管理规范(WMI)方法:

string _osVersion = "";
string _osServicePack = "";
string _osArchitecture = "";

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem");
ManagementObjectCollection collection = searcher.Get();

foreach (ManagementObject mbo in collection)
{
    _osVersion = mbo.GetPropertyValue("Caption").ToString();
    _osServicePack = string.Format("{0}.{1}", mbo.GetPropertyValue("ServicePackMajorVersion").ToString(), mbo.GetPropertyValue("ServicePackMinorVersion").ToString());

    try
    {
        _osArchitecture = mbo.GetPropertyValue("OSArchitecture").ToString();
    }
    catch
    {
        // OSArchitecture only supported on Windows 7/Windows Server 2008
    }
}

Console.WriteLine("osVersion     : " + _osVersion);
Console.WriteLine("osServicePack : " + _osServicePack);
Console.WriteLine("osArchitecture: " + _osArchitecture);

我需要这样做，但我也需要能够作为一个管理员远程做到这一点，无论是哪种情况下，这似乎很适合我:

    public static bool is64bit(String host)
    {
        using (var reg = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, host))
        using (var key = reg.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\"))
        {
            return key.GetValue("ProgramFilesDir (x86)") !=null;
        }
    }

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();
