Hello，During my usage of Kafka, I identified an issue. In the kafka-server-start.bat script, there is a logic that sets different startup parameters based on the bitness (32-bit/64-bit) of the operating system. The relevant code is as follows: <img width="1107" height="528" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7730e58-1e30-47a1-82d5-7b8e327eb5d5"; /> It first queries wmic os get osarchitecture, then determines whether the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit by checking if the result contains the string "32-bit". However, my actual tests show that this method is not reliable—the returned results vary across Windows systems with different languages and regional settings, as shown below: English Windows: <img width="810" height="114" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/42acc377-fb49-45d2-ba15-ac6049f556d1"; /> Chinese Windows: <img width="853" height="109" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7b1a606-54a9-40ef-b3bd-ed5172af3681"; /> French Windows: <img width="823" height="112" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2a85348e-a13c-402a-9c7d-dcd658837db5"; /> German Windows: <img width="831" height="123" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/22661fba-7375-4f5b-9a65-f57db1f37677"; /> Japanese Windows: <img width="882" height="115" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6fb4f9df-bf5e-4479-b7f0-80aed045765e"; /> Older Windows XP systems: <img width="975" height="172" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fbb381a3-2591-4543-bdbf-88bab26027ad"; /> Kafka has users across the globe, and the current approach lacks universality. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
