- Thread-topic: Detecting Intel
Give this a try, it works for us as some of our products only support
the Intel architecture:
if(!(system.gestalt('sysa') == '10')) {
my.result.title = 'Processor Type';
my.result.message = '<product here> only supports an Intel
processor.';
my.result.type = 'Fatal';
return false;
}
The gestalt manager reference is here if you want further information:

I think this might return "x86_64" on a 64-bit Snow Leopard, even though
it's Intel.

2 possible solutions:
- The one Apple tells you to use:
sysctl as described by Florian.
- The one Apple uses:
Add this option to the Distribution script.
<options hostArchitectures="i386" />
