Selected install path contains space. (user may install in the path

IMO, don't 'fix' the installer but fix the software instead to cope with
spaces in path.
In any reasonably professional shop you can't just say hey, MSI doesn't
support doing that, we just can't have that in our application!.
I don't think anyone was suggesting that but if you new it would need a custom

1.Is it possible to have one installer, that recognizes whether
the OS is 64 bit or not. Then installs either the 64 bit or the 32 bit

bit
I think they are. Everytime you hear things like `solve the applicartion
problem`, `custom actions are an admission of failure`, `we won't implement
that feature`, `There are few setup experiences more stable than an
application that simply needs a bunch of files installed`, I believe that

Hi,
I have a registry key which should be permanent and should be kept after
uninstall. Inside this key, there will be one or more sub-keys which should be

components, one for the root and the other for the subkeys. Now

I just wanted to add that some of us had working installers before. In our
case this goes back to a fossil InstallShield v3 script based solution. The
only reason we're really forced to replace it, is because it contains 16bit
