However, for a 64-bit process, the source of the data for the %ProgramFiles% environment variable is the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramW6432Dir...and the source of the data for the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable is the Registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir ...
In traditional cmd, we can use cd %programfiles% to switch directory which usually resolves to C:\\Program Files. In PowerShell, how can we go to a directory by a environment variable?
How about "you would like to locate a specific 32-bit program using a batch file which is shared between 32 and 64 bit computers". To do this, you would need a variable which evaluates to c:\program files on a 32-bit system or c:\program files (x86) on a 64-bit system. i.e. %ProgramW6432% –
Background: I'm developing scripts that are agnostic of the host OS being 32bit or 64bit, and for configuration files this works great. On a 32bit system, %ProgramFiles% is "C:\Program Files", and on a 64bit system that same %ProgramFiles% seemingly returns C:\Program Files (x86). I'm just curious why the same doesn't hold true when I try it ...
If I use the ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)} variable in a PowerShell script on a 32-bit system does it return "C:\Program Files" or is it undefined? On a x64 system it will be mapped to "C:\Program Files (x86)" when running in both x64 and x86 mode.

There should be a way to use the full c:\program files path directly. Often, it involves encapulating the string in quotes. For instance, on the windows command line; c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe will not start Internet Explorer, but "c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" will.
I was facing the same issue while using mvn clean package command in Windows OS. C:\eclipse_workspace\my-sparkapp>mvn clean package The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This environment variable is needed to run this program NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
On my machine, this gives the output: C:\Program Files (x86) If you need to assign this to a variable, you can do this via the usual method of command substitution: progfiles86="$(printenv "ProgramFiles(x86)")" # It's possible that ProgramFiles(x86) was not set, or it was set to the. # empty string.
To do this follow these steps: Use the global Search Charm to search "Environment Variables". Click "Edit system environment variables". Click "Environment Variables" in the dialog.
