The MSI doc recommends using different components for 64-bit packages, primarily in support of having both 32-bit and 64-bit packages installed on the same machine. The easiest way to do it with WiX is via preprocessor variables: Define your GUIDs as variables and then use <?ifdef?> to swap between 32 and 64 bitness. WiX v3 also has Package/@Platform to set the default bitness of components. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
