SystemInfo.WindowsSystemInfo
Queries system information on Windows.
| Component | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | Server | iOS SDK |
| SystemInfo | 11.2 | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes, on Windows | ❌ No |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Example | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native | Pass 0 for current environment or 1 for native environment. Default is 0. If there is no emulation, both results are identical. |
0 | Optional |
Result
Returns JSON or error.
Description
Queries system information on Windows.By passing in no argument or 0, you get the current configuration for the running application. Pass 1 to get native architecture information for emulated applications.
The JSON object returned contains the following keys:
| ProcessorArchitecture | Processor architecture as number. |
| ProcessorArchitectureText | Processor architecture as text. Value is INTEL, ARM, IA64, AMD64, X86OnAMD64, ARM64, X86OnArm64 or Unknown. |
| Bits | 32-bit or 64-bit |
| PageSize | The page size and the granularity of page protection and commitment. |
| ActiveProcessorMask | A mask representing the set of processors configured into the system. Bit 0 is processor 0; bit 31 is processor 31. |
| NumberOfProcessors | The number of logical processors in the current group. |
| ProcessorType | The processor type as number. |
| ProcessorTypeText | The processor type as text: Intel386, Intel486, IntelPentium, IA64 or X8664. |
| AllocationGranularity | The granularity at which virtual memory can be allocated. |
| ProcessorLevel | The architecture-dependent processor level. |
| ProcessorRevision | The architecture-dependent processor revision. |
See SystemInfo.MachoArchInfo function for similar information for macOS.
Seems like Intel on ARM 64-bit emulation lies and doesn't reveal the real native architecture. Use SystemInfo.WindowsMachineInfo to determinate whether you run on ARM in emulation.
Examples
Query in FileMaker in 64-bit on Intel 64-bit computer:
MBS( "SystemInfo.WindowsSystemInfo" )
Example result:
{
"ProcessorArchitecture": 9,
"ProcessorArchitectureText": "AMD64",
"Bits": 64,
"PageSize": 4096,
"ActiveProcessorMask": 3,
"NumberOfProcessors": 2,
"ProcessorType": 8664,
"ProcessorTypeText": "X8664",
"AllocationGranularity": 65536,
"ProcessorLevel": 6,
"ProcessorRevision": 40461
}
Query in FileMaker 18 in 32-bit on Intel 64-bit computer:
MBS( "SystemInfo.WindowsSystemInfo"; 0 )
Example result:
{
"ProcessorArchitecture": 0,
"ProcessorArchitectureText": "INTEL",
"Bits": 32,
"PageSize": 4096,
"ActiveProcessorMask": 3,
"NumberOfProcessors": 2,
"ProcessorType": 586,
"ProcessorTypeText": "IntelPentium",
"AllocationGranularity": 65536,
"ProcessorLevel": 6,
"ProcessorRevision": 40461
}
Query FileMaker on a Windows ARM notebook:
MBS( "SystemInfo.WindowsSystemInfo"; 0 )
// shows emulated Intel architecture.
Example result:
{
"ProcessorArchitecture": 9,
"ProcessorArchitectureText": "AMD64",
"Bits": 64,
"PageSize": 4096,
"ActiveProcessorMask": 3,
"NumberOfProcessors": 2,
"ProcessorType": 8664,
