Error in architecture detection under Windows Server 2008 Standard

Closed this issue 12 years ago · 5 comments

At node_modules\winser\bin\winser:87, I need to change the regular expression from

var architecture = stdout.match(/([2346]{2})\-Bit/)[1];

to

var architecture = stdout.match(/([2346]{2})\-[bB]it/)[1];

since Windows Server 2008 return "64-bit" instead of "64-Bit".

I think we should use this

http://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_arch

@dignifiedquire do you remember why you used wmic OS get OSArchitecture instead of node.js process.arch?

The problem is that the process architecture can differ from the os architecture which is what we really want to know. E.g. node 32bit would give 32bit process.arch even if it's running on a 64bit machine. os.arch should solve that but doesn't right now see this issue nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2862
