[chef] Re: How to determine windows node OS info in a cookbook?

Hi, Larry. This did not seem to be exposed in the cookbook, and I didn't find it when I looked in ohai output either. I'm using Chef 0.11.2, so maybe that was changed?

You can use node["processor"]["machine"] to detect this. It will return i386 or x86_64, depending on the whether it is 32 or 64-bit respectively.

I'm working on a cookbook that downloads and installs a MSI. However, I need to know if the node running the cookbook is 32 or 64 bit Windows. Any pointers on this?

Thanks.
