I have installed WAMP on my Windows 8, now for some reasons I need to know if it is 32bit or 64. Browsed around and looked in 'abouts' and version/licence files but couldn't find anywhere. It is WAMPServer 2.2 by the way.

One easy way is to look in the process list. Bring up the Windows Task Manager. On the processes tab locate the WAMPServer process. If it is running as a 32-bit process it was say "(32 bit)" after the name. If it doesn't it is a 64-bit process.

Obviously... if you are running 32-bit Windows 8 then WAMPServer is a 32-bit process.

Update: In Windows 10 there is a Platform column in Task Manager. To see it click the 'Details' tab, right-click on the header for the task list and choose 'Select Columns'. Tick 'Platform' - it is near the bottom of the list

  • It is 64bit Windows, that's why I couldn't figure out. Thanks 'Task Manager' helped here too! – XIMRX Mar 17 '14 at 12:59
  • Hi, I need to know this as well in order to repair it. As it is not running how can I find out please (on Win7-64bit)? Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22568835/corrupt-wampserver-how-to-recover. Regards, Glyn – Glyn Mar 22 '14 at 01:15
  • You could look at the executable with a tool: http://superuser.com/questions/358434/how-to-check-if-a-binary-is-32-or-64-bit-on-windows – Rob Mar 22 '14 at 09:29

  • What does `phpinfo()` suggest in its architecture section? Is it the architecture of `Wampp`? – Suhail Gupta Aug 28 '15 at 11:37

You can always also right-click the system tray icon and select "About".
