You need an x86 package and an x64 package which consume the correct merge modules.
You can't use x64 merge modules in an x86 package, that's what the error is trying to tell you.

Initially, they were all these merge modules were fore 32-bit systems. Testing the installed application on 64-bit windows 7 i found out that we would need the 64-bit merge modules. So I added them to the wxs file: <!-- 32 bit --> <Merge Id="VSWINFORMS" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\MStudioUIWinforms.2008.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIANLYS" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\nianlys.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIMESADLL" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\NIMesaDLL.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIMETAUTILS" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\niMetaUtils.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <!-- 64 bit --> <Merge Id="VSWINFORMS64" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\MStudioUIWinforms.2008_x64.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIANLYS64" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\nianlys_x64.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIMESADLL64" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\NIMesa_x64.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> <Merge Id="NIMETAUTILS64" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\niMetaUtils_x64.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1" /> Unfortunately, upon compile I get the following error message: Encountered an unexpected merge error of type 'msmErrorPlatformMismatch' for which there is currently no error message to display. More information about the merge and the failure can be found in the merge log: 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Extnoser1\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\5-i_y-vo\merge.log' light.exe 0 1 Installer How can i make this work? What is the right approach to ensure the application gets correctly installed on 32 and 64 bit machines. Thanks in advance..
