C# - How To Get Program Files (x86) On Windows 64 Bit
Answer :
The function below will return the x86 Program Files directory in all of these three Windows configurations:
- 32 bit Windows
 - 32 bit program running on 64 bit Windows
 - 64 bit program running on 64 bit windows
 
static string ProgramFilesx86() {     if( 8 == IntPtr.Size          || (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432"))))     {         return Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles(x86)");     }      return Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles"); }  If you're using .NET 4, there is a special folder enumeration ProgramFilesX86:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86)  Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROGRAMFILES(X86)") ?? Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)
