Do you want to do it manually or via code?

As Sergey has mentioned, the simplest way is to determine if process is 64-bit.

Here is an example: How to know a process is 32-bit or 64-bit programmatically[^]

Well, second advice can help, but not the first one. Unfortunately, it does not help much, because one needs to tell x86-64 from IE64 (Itanium) and I don't see the pure .NET way multiplatform way. On Windows, it's done ether using P/Invoke (using Windows-specific API) or looking at "bitness" in combination with reading the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE environment variable, which is also Windows-specific. Too bad...
(Anyway, voted 5.)

Thank you, Sergey.
I didn't realize that there is no simply way to determine if process is 32/64-bit for all platforms... Good to know it ;)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 9-Jul-13 10:16am

No, it's easy to determine 32/64 for all platform, the problem is to tell specific 64-bit architecture, which is important because they are incompatible. And this is easy, too, only for each specific OS.

OK, i see the difference now ;)

Solution 1

To determine if office 2010 is 32 bit or 64 bit, we could check a registry key named Bitness. For more information, please refer to this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx[^].

Also here is a resource with a same question you could refer to: Detect whether Office 2010 is 32bit or 64bit via the registry.

Solution 5

Microsoft Office 2007 only came in 32-bit. To confirm this, first open a microsoft office product.
Open the task manager by pressing Cntl+ Shift + Esc.
Then make sure you are in the Processes tab.
Find the office 2007 program you are running...it should have ".exe" after it.
After ".exe" ff it has "*32", that's 32-bit.
If it has nothing after ".exe", that's 64-bit.

Checking task manager / process explorer was already explained in Solution 3, posted eight years ago.

Stick to answering new questions unless you have something significant to add to the discussion.
