I am working on automation project in which we are installing the Windows OS on client machine with the help of different OS packages available on server.

While installing Windows XP/2003 we are checking for the OS installer packages to get the difference between x86 and x64 architectures.
e.g. x86 package contains - I386 folder and PRODSPEC.INI file.
and x64 package contains - I386 folder, PRODSPEC.INI and one additional folder AMD64

Is there any such specific folders or file for Windows 7installer package, by using which we can identify that this is for x86 or for x64?

Thanks,
Jaydeep.

Hi.

C:\Windows\SysWow64 should only be present on x64 Windows 7. Not x86.

Edit: Sorry. Read your post again and noticed you're talking about installers.
Just woke up a few minutes ago heh heh.

I found difference below for Win 7 OS;

x64 package contains : "sysmain32.sdb" which is not present in the x86 package.

Please let me know is this correct or there is something else?

Thanks,
Jaydeep.
