If I understand the issue, I would go to each of the two project files (Prod.*proj and TEST.*proj), right click on each file and select 'Unload', then right click and select Edit Prod.wixproj (or TEST.wixproj). Then compare the working to the non-working file. It sounds like your OutputName element in the 'global' (top most) PropertyGroup has been overwritten to 'Any CPU' (which is a possible value VS might pass into $(Platform) MSBuild property).
I was working on a similar issue in my build process recently, because I have a mixture of wix, C#, and C++ projects which require different platform specifications. In the course of doing that I came across the chm (and Candle /? output) which indicates that Package/@Platform (and -d:Platform) is discouraged (or deprecated) and that -arch is prefered. So I added the InstallerPlatform element to my project files and set it to x64 in the situation where I needed the -arch=x64. When you finish editing a .*proj file you need to close it and then right click and 'reload' it. I have also found that if you change any .target or .prop file that is imported by the project, you really need to close the solution and re-open the solution (so I often do that anyway just to make sure that I know that my new changes have been loaded prior to testing them). If you do not close and reopen the solution, imported targets stay in memory and do not reflect changes made after they were first loaded (at least that is the behavior of VS2010). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/platform-x86-vs-AnyCPU-problems-tp7590303p7590322.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
