How can I determine which architecture (x86 or x64) my Ubuntu installation medium is for?

I don't have it installed, I just need to know which files on the installation media I can use to determine the architecture.

When there is a \EFI folder on the Iso it is 64-bit, 32-bit does not have a \EFI folder.
