How to determine whether a Windows system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Cause
The IBM MQ V8.0 server is a 64-bit product and cannot be installed on 32-bit Windows systems.
Resolving the problem
Open a Windows Command Prompt and use one of the
following two methods to determine whether the Windows installation is
32-bit or 64-bit. The first uses the Windows Management Instrumentation Command interface:
Check Windows using WMIC
C:\> WMIC OS GET OSArchitecture
OSArchitecture
64-bit
The second option examines the output of the systeminfo command to identify the system as 32-bit ("X86-based PC") or as 64-bit ("x64-based PC"). This command might take a minute or two to complete:
Check Windows using systeminfo
C:\> SYSTEMINFO | FIND /I "System Type"
System Type: x64-based PC
IBM MQ V8.0 server cannot be installed on 32-bit Windows systems, but WebSphere MQ V7.5 and WebSphere MQ V7.1 servers can be installed on them. Although there is no 32-bit version of the MQ V8.0 server, IBM does provide a 32-bit version of the MQ V8.0 client for 32-bit Windows systems.
