I use six wixlibs to install seven services with multiple copies of "common" assemblies in different directories and AppPools. Works great. We only build one platform now, x64, but we used to build both x86 and x64. Separate wixlib's and conditionalized source for each platform.

Currently I have to VS solutions 1 for x86 and 1 for x64. I want to have only one VS solution for both x86/x64 I know howto do that, however I am stuck on how I can conditionally install the merge modules based on the platform of the OS... i.e. on a component I can do: <Component Id="cmp_SomeDll" Guid="{A GUID}"> <File Id="file_SomeDll" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.tcpSourcePath)\lib\x86\SomeFile.dll" /> <Condition> </Condition> </Component> <Component Id="cmp_SomeDll_x64" Guid="{A GUID}" Permanent="no" Shared="no"> <File Id="file_SomeDll_x64" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.tcpSourcePath)\lib\x64\SomeFile.dll" /> <Condition> </Condition> </Component> that way I can compile the WIX project for either x86 or x64 and the proper file is installed... How do I do that for a merge module? i.e. here is the merge ref and the merge module elements: <MergeRef Id="Enterprise1ServicesMM"/> <MergeRef Id="Enterprise2ServicesMM"/> <MergeRef Id="Enterprise3ServicesMM"/> <MergeRef Id="Enterprise4yServicesMM"/> </Feature> </Product> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="DIRECTORY_PATH_SERVICES" DiskId="1"> <Merge Id="Enterprise1ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlib\Enterprise1ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise2ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlib\Enterprise2ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise3ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlib\Enterprise3ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise4yServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlib\Enterprise4ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise1ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlibx64\Enterprise1ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise2ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlibx64\Enterprise2ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise3ServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlibx64\Enterprise3ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> <Merge Id="Enterprise4yServicesMM" DiskId="1" SourceFile="$(env.TLSharedServices)\Installers\wixlibx64\Enterprise4ServicesMergeModule.msm" Language="1033"/> I have two merge modules for the same Service 1 x86 and 1 x64 but how do I conditionally install the proper one for the OS?? Thanks, Steve ps I think I am screwed on this one... -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Need-help-how-to-put-a-condition-on-a-merge-module-in-Product-wxs-tp7587670.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
