A WiX extension DLL is loaded into the WiX compiler process (candle.exe). Since candle.exe is x86-only for now, all extensions must be x86 (or neutral).
Why would you need to compile the extension DLL as x64? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Karper Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 7:46 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix Extension Problem Alright, here's the latest installment of my saga. It seems that I can build my extension just fine, both x86 and x64 flavors... When I use the extension in a project, it works if I use the x86 version, but the x64 fails to load. Here's the error from MSBuild. (I used Votive to create the project, but use MSBuild to run it, so devenv.exe doesn't lock my extension .dll) ---------- candle.exe : error CNDL0144: The extension '..\Projects\WixSampleExtension\WixSampleExtension\bin\x64\Debug\WixSampleExtension.dll' could not be loaded. ---------- fuslogvw.exe gives me the following: ---------- *** Assembly Binder Log Entry (7/14/2008 @ 10:35:43 AM) *** The operation failed.
