If you use Lua's own io it should be possible, but I don't think love's filesystem can reach there.

Well, why not checking the env variable PATH ?
Code: Select all
local function is_windows()
return (package.config:sub(1,1) == '\\')
end
local function has_pfx86()
return is_windows()
and (os.getenv('PATH'):match('Program Files %(x86%)')~=nil)
end
print('Does the folder Program Files (x86) exist ?', has_pfx86())

There's also the environment variable ProgramFiles(x86) that points to this directory if it's a 64-bit Windows.
