Hi,

I am trying to detect if a remote machine has 64bit Windows OS or not.
Based on the detection results, I would like to copy the corresponding
native binaries (either 32 or 64 bit) for my application onto that machine.

I know there is IsWow64Process api but the process using this api has to be
run on the machine.
In other words, this API cannot be called from a remote machine.

Therefore, I would like to know if there is any special registry key or
service that are exclusive to Windows 64 bit OS?
If that is the case, I can use the remote registry APIs or SCM APIs to
connect to the machine & query the appropriate keys or services.

Thanks.
