You can simply use [SystemFolder] for 32-bit package and [System64Folder] for
64-bit package.
<?if $(var.Platform) != x86 ?>
<?define System32Dir = "System64Folder" ?>
<?else?>
<?define System32Dir = "SystemFolder" ?>
<?endif ?>
<Shortcut
Id="SC_Debug"
Name="Pathfinder Service Debug" Description="Pathfinder Service Debug"
Target="[$(var. System32Dir)]telnet.exe"
Arguments="127.0.0.1 6001"
WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" />

Subject: [WiX-users] Accessing system32 folder on 64bit machines
I'm trying to add a shortcut like this to my installer:
<Shortcut
Id="SC_Debug"
Name="Pathfinder Service Debug" Description="Pathfinder Service Debug"
Target="[SystemFolder]telnet.exe"
Arguments="127.0.0.1 6001"
WorkingDirectory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" />
However, on 64bit windows it comes out at c:\windows\syswow64 instead of
system32, but telnet.exe always lives in System32.
I used to use innosetup and oddly {sys} somehow pointed to the correct
folder, though I'm guessing it did something underhand like use
WindowsFolder and simply appended "system32", which is what I'm thinking
of doing at the moment unless anyone has a nice solution to this?
On 64bit windows System64Folder does point to System32 (as odd as that
may sound) - but this doesn't help on Windows 32.
Thanks,
Mark.
