Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Beginner's Question: 32 Bit MSI on 64 Bit OS
Hi,
In the past we have changed the build targets from any cpu to x86 in
our .net compliation, forcing the assmblies to be 32 bit.
Its also possible to detect what os you are on in the .net application and to
override any redirection in the registry access calls.

I found one case where this doesn't work. It seems dotnet apps by default
leave it up to the framework to determine if they are 64 or 32 bit. So when
you package this as a 32 Bit MSI and install it on a 64 Bit machine the
registry settings are redirected to the Wow6432bit node, but when the code
reads the registry it is 64 bit and does not do the redirection (unless you
actually try to detect this and code around it). Result was a broken app.
Would be interested if anyone had a way around this.

As I said a bit further back, installing regular x86 MSI's on x64 windows
systems works absolutely fine. It will automatically use SysWOW64 instead of
system32, Wow6432Node for registry settings and Program Files (x86) for the
actual program directory. Unless you specify otherwise, this is the defauly
behaviour of the standard x86 variables on x64 machines.

Karg,
If you get a chance to install your x86 msi on 64 bit OS, please share your
results with me. It will help me in future.

MSI's themselves are built for either x86 or x64 platforms (or Intel64 aka
Itanium but they're so rare it's not worth mentioning).
Build your MSI for x86 as you normally do & if a user tries to install it on an
x64 system msiexec/WoW will take care of it.
Ignore everything Harshil says, you don't need an x64 machine to build an x86
MSI which works on both x86 & x64 Windows installations. MSI's & DLL's are
separate issues.

Well it is obvious that msi created on 32-bit machine has no knowledge of
64-bit environment and if u wont to provide support to both 64-bit and 32-bit
OS, its required man...sorry.. you can try with it..

But that's weird -- it would mean that it is impossible to install a MSI on a
64 Bit machine that was created in times when there was no 64 Bit around
already... -- or that all software vendors in the past obtained 64 Bit machines
just to create their 32 Bit MSIs THERE!? Can't believe that.
