Just for clarification, CorFlags.exe is part of the .NET Framework SDK. I have the development tools on my machine, and the simplest way for me determine whether a DLL is 32-bit only is to:
Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt (In Windows: menu Start/Programs/Microsoft Visual Studio/Visual Studio Tools/Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt)
CD to the directory containing the DLL in question
Run corflags like this:
corflags MyAssembly.dll
You will get output something like this:
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CorFlags Conversion Tool. Version 3.5.21022.8
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Version : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
PE : PE32
CorFlags : 3
ILONLY : 1
32BIT : 1
Signed : 0
As per comments the flags above are to be read as following:
Just write your own. The core of the PE architecture hasn't been seriously changed since its implementation in Windows 95.
Here's a C# example:
public static ushort GetPEArchitecture(string pFilePath)
{
ushort architecture = 0;
try
{
using (System.IO.FileStream fStream = new System.IO.FileStream(pFilePath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
{
using (System.IO.BinaryReader bReader = new System.IO.BinaryReader(fStream))
{
// Check the MZ signature
if (bReader.ReadUInt16() == 23117)
{
// Seek to e_lfanew.
fStream.Seek(0x3A, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Current);
// Seek to the start of the NT header.
fStream.Seek(bReader.ReadUInt32(), System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
if (bReader.ReadUInt32() == 17744) // Check the PE\0\0 signature.
{
// Seek past the file header,
fStream.Seek(20, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Current);
// Read the magic number of the optional header.
architecture = bReader.ReadUInt16();
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception) { /* TODO: Any exception handling you want
to do, personally I just take 0
as a sign of failure */
}
// If architecture returns 0, there has been an error.
return architecture;
}
}
Now the current constants are:
0x10B - PE32 format.
0x20B - PE32+ format.
But with this
