I am running a process using Process class in C# as follows

Process p = Process.Start("lync");

It opens the Microsoft Lync Application. How will I know that if it is 32 - bit application or 64 bit application.

Based on that I have to create some registry keys.

http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/kernel32/IsWow64Process.html You might want to think this through for a bit, surely you want to whack those registry keys *before* you start the program. Chicken-and-egg problem. – Hans Passant Mar 10 '15 at 00:13

@ScottChamberlain the second half of the accepted answer covers it. – Blorgbeard Mar 10 '15 at 00:13
