Since most of my Wix code is just
<component> definitions though it looks like I’ll need separate
sources for the 64-bit <component> definitions and the 32-bit
<component> definitions since the Win64 attribute marks them as 32-bit or
64-bit, correct? In the Wix documentation for <component> Win64 it
states: Set this attribute to
'yes' to mark this as a 64-bit component. This attribute facilitates the
installation of packages that include both 32-bit and 64-bit components. If
this bit is not set, the component is registered as a 32-bit component. If this
is a 64-bit component replacing a 32-bit component, set this bit and assign a
new GUID in the Guid attribute. So it sounds like here that I should have
separate GUIDs for 32-bit and 64-bit <component> definitions even though
the assemblies that are being deployed are exactly the same. If this is the
case, then I can understand the need for separate GUIDs, but it sure makes
maintaining 32-bit and 64-bit installs twice as much work. Do I need to have
dual copies of my <component> definitions for 32 & 64 bit? From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Kelly Summerlin wrote: My question is this, is it possible to use the same
Wix files to build one MSI that will deploy the files and registry settings to
32-bit or 64-bit determined at runtime? No. An MSI package must be marked as 64-bit before it
can install 64-bit components into the 64-bit parts of the file system and
registry. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
