This is certainly more of a Windows Installer question, but here goes: 1) I've noticed that my MSI will not run on a Vista-64 box if I add the Platforms="x64" attribute. The error is something to the effect of : "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." The 32-bit version works fine under vista. What might be the cause of this? Do I need a 64-bit version of wix? Should my custom actions dll be build 64-bit? The MSI can be opened with Orca and examined without issues.
2) Really, I don't *have* to have a 64-bit installer, as my install package is mixed anyway. Things basically work perfectly as-is, but I'm seeing a directory which I've given the Id CommonFiles64Folder being transformed to the x86 version of the path. From the log: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CommonFiles64Folder property. Its current value is 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\'. Its new value: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\'. The component it contains is marked Win64="yes" (it's a 64-bit dll). The MS docs for this property don't lead me to believe that it would change in this manner, but I must be misunderstanding something about 32 versus 64-bit installs. Any hints would be appreciated, although the issue is easy enough to work around. It's just bugging me that I don't understand why this is happening.
