Hi i have a sample msi that contains only a 64 bit dll in its component.i
have set the attribute Platforms="x64" in Package node (called Template
summary property) and win64="yes" in the component atrribute to support
64bit platform. it works fine on 64 bit machine as expected.

i have used the Force reboot Action in this msi that suspend the
installation and writes registry in the following path

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\RunOnce
and corresponding values are also set in
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curren
tVersion\Installer\RunOnce Entries

after reboot it doesn't continue the installation. but if i copy and write
the registry enrty from Wow6432Node to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Installer\RunOnce Entries

it works fine.

there are a couple of things that i could not understand are  

* if msi is support 64 bit then why it is calling
c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe  instead of
c:\windows\syswow64\system32\msiexec.exe.

* why it writes in the registry
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\RunOnce and
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Curren
tVersion\Installer\RunOnce Entries

instead of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Installer\RunOnce Entries.


is there any setting that i am missing in my MSI to fully support 64bit
platform.
