It's a x64 MSI. I used the Win64=no setting and sure enough I got ICE80 errors :-(, but the registration seems to have worked. Any ideas on how to get rid of the ICE errors - "This 32BitComponent XXXXX uses 64BitDirectory XXXXX"

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How do I register a 32bit dll on a 64bit OS ? Is your MSI built as x86 or x64? Our product has multiple OCX's & COM DLL's which I've harvested using heat.exe and everything registers fine on both 32-bit & 64-bit O/S. However all our MSI's are built for x86 as our apps are 32-bit so I've never run across this issue myself. If you're building an x64 MSI you might need to set Win64="no" on the Components in question (& possibly other Elements, haven't looked into it much) to get it to redirect to the WoW6432Node registry areas correctly. Whether that'll pass ICE validation is a another question entirely though. Good luck.

I'm authoring a WiX file that registers a COM dll as part of the install. I used heat.exe to extract the ClassID, Interfaces, Reg Keys etc and reference that in my wxs file. This works well when I install on 32-bit OS. However it doesn't work on a 64bit OS ? I digged through the archives and there were references to this being a known problem in Wix. Has this been fixed in Wix 3.0 ? -Arvind ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
