Hi,
The MC generates .h and .rc file and .bin file. How to distinguish 32 and 64 bit .bin binaries?

No way. they are undistinguishable.

MC does not generate executable code. The .bin file contains resources
and data. It does not have 32-bit and 64-bit variants.

Actually, it is important to realize that there are no 32-bit or 64-bit
versions of the .bin files; there is nothing dependent on the size of the
architecture in them. There are some 32-bit values, which remain 32-bit
values, whether they are lengths or message IDs, and the rest is Unicode
text. So there are no values in the .bin file that need to be 64-bit in a
64-bit environment.
So it isn’t just that you can’t tell the difference; there IS no difference
because there is nothing different that needs to exist.

I did not say I can’t tell the difference; rather that nobody can tell the
difference
