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);
}

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。

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();

//Hosts the extension methods  
public static class OSHelperTools  
{  
    /// <summary>     
    /// The function determines whether the current operating system is a      
    /// 64-bit operating system.     
    /// </summary>     
    /// <returns>     
    /// The function returns true if the operating system is 64-bit;      
    /// otherwise, it returns false.     
    /// </returns>    
    public static bool IsWin64BitOS(this OperatingSystem os)  
    {  
        if (IntPtr.Size == 8)  
        // 64-bit programs run only on Win64           
            return true;   
        else// 32-bit programs run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows     
        {   // Detect whether the current process is a 32-bit process                
            // running on a 64-bit system.               
            return Process.GetCurrentProcess().Is64BitProc();  
        }  
    }  

    /// <summary>  
    /// Checks if the process is 64 bit  
    /// </summary>  
    /// <param name="os"></param>  
    /// <returns>  
    /// The function returns true if the process is 64-bit;        
    /// otherwise, it returns false.  
    /// </returns>    
    public static bool Is64BitProc(this System.Diagnostics.Process p)  
    {  
        // 32-bit programs run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows           
        // Detect whether the current process is a 32-bit process                
        // running on a 64-bit system.               
        bool result;  
        return ((DoesWin32MethodExist("kernel32.dll", "IsWow64Process") && IsWow64Process(p.Handle, out result)) && result);  
    }  

    /// <summary>     
    /// The function determins whether a method exists in the export      
    /// table of a certain module.     
    /// </summary>

    /// <param name="methodName">The name of the method</param>     
    /// <returns>     
    /// The function returns true if the method specified by methodName      
    /// exists in the export table of the module specified by moduleName.     
    /// </returns>       
    static bool DoesWin32MethodExist(string moduleName, string methodName)  
    {  
        IntPtr moduleHandle = GetModuleHandle(moduleName);  
        if (moduleHandle == IntPtr.Zero)  
            return false;    
        return (GetProcAddress(moduleHandle, methodName) != IntPtr.Zero);   
    }  
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]  
    static extern IntPtr GetCurrentProcess();  

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]  
    static extern IntPtr GetModuleHandle(string moduleName);  

    [DllImport("kernel32", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]  
    static extern IntPtr GetProcAddress(IntPtr hModule, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string procName);  

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]  
    [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]  
    static extern bool IsWow64Process(IntPtr hProcess, out bool wow64Process);  
}

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c#中使用DllImport的直接方法。

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)] 
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)] 
public static extern bool IsWow64Process([In] IntPtr hProcess, [Out] out bool lpSystemInfo); 

public static bool Is64Bit() 
{ 
    bool retVal; 

    IsWow64Process(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, out retVal); 

    return retVal; 
} 

一切都很好，但这也应该在env中工作:

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86

..

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64

可能太简单了;-)
