A quick and easy way to have a script detect if a machine is 32 vs 64 bit is the "Verify a directory exists..." Verify step in a script. If Program Files (x86) exists, we know we are looking at a 64 bit machine.
You can use the Powershell Get-WmiObject command to find out the particular version number of OS. Tweak the following script to meet your needs: http://ss64.com/ps/get-wmiobject-win32.html
Build numbers correspond to the following OS versions:
2600 = Windows XP x86
3790 = Windows XP x64
7600= Windows 7 x86
7601 = Windows 7 x64
9200 = Windows 8 x86
Unfortunately I don't have a Win8 x64 virtual machine at my disposal right now for the build number. If someone could comment with that it might help those in the future.

I'd wholeheartedly endorse escaping from the dinosaur that is WiseScript. Using a more up-to-date language will open up a much wider world of control, not to say script examples! :-) - anonymous_9363 11 years ago
