Detecting 32 vs 64 install button instances

[theak]

I have an install that I'm trying to deploy on both 32 bit and 64 bit machines. Trying to move more to 64 bit but still curious about making this work for both at the same time.

This is the 32 bit version of the script. I tried to make this same script work for a 64 bit install but realized the button IDs were different. Same install exe though.

What's the smart way to detect the buttonIDs based on the OS architecture? I thought possibly having the button ID as a variable with case selects but I wasn't quite sure how to pull it off.

What is cwblaunch.exe? Do you have the website url for it? There's probably a silent installation for it as well as a x64 or x86 parameter.

It's an ancient mainframe software. I doubt it actually does but I can contact our vendor to see.

This seems to be the info, if it is for the same version:

Thanks @MilesAhead

These are the command line parameters that we want.

The /v/qn parameter is a silent install and should do what you want.

ShellExecute("\\servername\cofs\Organization\ITS\_Software & Hardware\AS400\DVD\Windows\cwblaunch.exe", "/v/qn")

And these look like some more command line parameters based on what to install. If you use any of these ones then use the double quotes in the parameter so it'd look like this:

ShellExecute("\\servername\cofs\Organization\ITS\_Software & Hardware\AS400\DVD\Windows\cwblaunch.exe", '"/v/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL"')

If I run it at the command line level I get the error that it's not a valid Win32 application.

Logically look for one, if not present, get the other.

Ok, awesome, I had to dig to find the right setup.exe according to the documentation but I got it to run. However, it pops up with this dialog box (attached) showing me the command line parameters, as if I'm incorrect.  

It continues to run the install however, but seemingly without any of the command line parameters.

Here's the command I entered into the CMD prompt exactly:

"\\servername\cofs\Organization\ITS\_Software & Hardware\AS400\DVD\Windows\image64a\setup.exe",'"/v/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL"'
