Detect whether Office is 32bit or 64bit via the registry

Question

Now that Office also comes in a 64bit install, where in the registry do you find out if the version of Office installed is 32bit or 64bit?

Answer 1

Here's what I was able to use in a VBscript to detect Office 64bit Outlook:

Dim WshShell, blnOffice64, strOutlookPath
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
blnOffice64=False
strOutlookPath=WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\outlook.exe\Path")
If WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%") = "AMD64" And _
    not instr(strOutlookPath, "x86") > 0 then 
  blnOffice64=True
  wscript.echo "Office 64"
End If
