Classification: Public I have fixed my file copy issue I have a x86 MSI and a x64 MSI that installs 2 files that come in x86 and x64 flavours :)
I know use this condition to fix it: 32 bit: NOT Msix64 OR $(var.Platform) = "x86" 64 bit: Msix64 AND $(var.Platform) = "x64" Steve -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: January-22-14 6:17 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Your having a tough time here because $(sys.BUILDARCH) is always equal to $(var.Platform) on the DEVELOPER MACHINE. Caveat: The above is always true unless setting the CPU Type in VS as Phil Stated.
