I'd give you samples but I'm not sure if you are using C++, VBScript or C#. ---------------------------------------- From: "Alex Ivanoff" <aivan...@vmware.com> Sent: Friday, January 06, 2012 9:46 AM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Querying the package andinstalled productarchitecture I am sorry, I should have been more explicit in the question: given the installed product upgrade code how do I find that product architecture? -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:phil.wil...@invensys.com] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 18:58 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
