What I would be after would be to get this information at installation time without any user-interaction (most won't know what would be asked) in a platform independent manner. Something equivalent to a hyptohetic "uninfo bitness" returning either "32", "64" or "32 64" (if a universal binary). Regards ---rony P.S.: "file" is usually not installed on Windows, nor the sysinternal utilities like ProcessExplorer. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
