[WiX-users] wix3_x64.msi

Hello, I was just installing the x64 version of WiX and noticed the files are identical as in x86. All binaries are Any Cpu assemblies. Can someone tell me what (besides the installer) are the differences in the x64 release of WiX? Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Setup -
