If you're letting the user pick an install directory, you're going to need two they can pick if you want to break out 32-bit and 64-bit files. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

How do you avoid getting the "error LGHT0109 : Duplicate symbol 'Directory:INSTALLDIR' found." errors in that case? I can change INSTALLDIR to INSTALLDIR2 or something similar, but then the file structure in Program Files (x86) won't match that in Program Files if the user changes the install directory, right? Do I need to make some kind of custom action to copy the value of INSTALLDIR to INSTALLDIR2 after the directory selection page? Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] x64 and ProgramFilesFolder vs. ProgramFiles64Folder
After poking around a little more I've found something in the logs that might be related. There are a lot of messages about: "WIN64DUALFOLDERS: Substitution in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallDir\File.exe' folder had been blocked by the 1 mask argument (the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 0)." Some google searches have indicated that some other people have complained in the past about it changing their install location between "Program Files (x86)" and "Program Files", which is exactly what I want it to be doing in my case, but in all those examples iSwapAttrib was set to 1. And aside from those occasional complaints I've so far found nothing at all about what WIN64DUALFOLDERS and iSwapAttrib are or how to set the value of the later. Anyone have any clues of what I'm doing wrong in Wix to get that value screwed up? Thanks again! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
