We've known this has been coming and waiting for it to hit priority. A 64-bit Burn will be needed as well.
Probably something for someone to do for v4.0 and, probably, v3.11. It isn't as easy as just building 64-bit DLLs. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Alessandro Pilotti [mailto:apilo...@cloudbasesolutions.com] Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 4:40 AM To: WiX toolset developer mailing list Subject: [WiX-devs] x64 extensions binaries for Windows Server 2016 without WoW64 Hi guys, Being this is my first email to the ML, let me start with a big thank you for your great work developing and maintaining the WiX toolset! The upcoming Windows Server 2016 (Threshold) provides the option to avoid deploying the WoW64 32 bit subsystem, meaning that any x86 exe / dll won’t work. To remove WoW64 from e.g. a TP2 installation: Remove-WindowsFeature WoW64-Support WiX extension DLLs (WixUIExtension, WixUtilExtension, etc) are provided in x86 form only in binary downloads, meaning that any attempt to deploy an MSI that uses any of them in the above use case will fail. Do you guys plan to package x64 versions as well in upcoming releases? For Wix 3.9, is there a way to build the extensions targeting x64 skipping the rest of the WiX build? Thanks!
