Hi Chirs, Regarding Is64Bit="No" - which tag in WIX this attribute belongs to? Are you referring to the attribute "win64" of the component element?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] how to use WIX write registry values to both 32 bit and 64 bit registries in one MSI? You shouldn't directly access the Wow6432Node, just set up your registry access like a 32 bit program would expect, then mark the component containing those registry items as Is64Bit="No"... That should set you up.
