product.wxs file [P]
Classification: Public
So are you saying I should use:
<?if $(sys.BUILDARCH) = x64 ?> and NOT <?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?>
What about my wixlib where I have 2 files that have a 32 bit version and a 64
bit version what is the proper way to say
32 bit file install on a 32 bit OS and 64 bit file install on a 64 bit OS AND
32 bit file can be installed on 64 bit OS since the x86 MSI can be installed on
64bit OS?
<Component Id="cmp_Dll" Guid="{<Some GUID>}" >
<File Id="file_Dll" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.SourcePath)\lib\x86\SomeFile.dll" />
<Condition>
< ! [ CDATA [$(sys.BUILDARCH) = x64 AND $(sys.BUILDARCH) = x86] ]
>
</Condition>
</Component>
<Component Id="cmp_DLLl_x64" Guid="{<Some GUID>}" Win64="$(var.Win)">
<File Id="file_Dll_x64" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.SourcePath)\lib\x64\SomeFile.dll" />
<Condition>
< ! [CDATA [$(sys.BUILDARCH) = x64] ] >
</Condition>
</Component>
Thanks

sys.BUILDARCH uses the value set via the MSBuild Platform property (x86 for
32-bit intel, etc.) automatically with recent releases of WiX. And most of the
time you don’t need to set the Win64 attribute because the same input (the
-arch argument to candle) that sets the BUILDARCH value from the MSBuild
property automatically sets the Win64 default to an appropriate value. (the
released chm docs give the wrong source for this automatic setting).
If you use the var.Platform value you are at the mercy of it being set to
something you don't expect.

Hello,
I use 1 product.wxs file at build time, the project file has different
configurations for X86 and X64 which allows me build 2 MSI's one for 32 bit and
one for 64 bit.
I have used these conditions but which one is correct?
<?if $(sys.BUILDARCH) = x64 ?>
<?define Win=yes ?>
<?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName) (64 bit)" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec64"?>
<?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExec64CmdLine"?>
<?else ?>
<?define Win=no ?>
<?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName)" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec"?>
<?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExecCmdLine"?>
<?endif ?>
OR
<?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?>
<?define Win=yes ?>
<?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName) (64 bit)" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec64"?>
<?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExec64CmdLine"?>
<?else ?>
<?define Win=no ?>
<?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName)" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec"?>
<?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExecCmdLine"?>
<?endif ?>
As well some installs have 2 files, 1 for 32 bit and 1 for 64 bit and of course
I want the right one to be installed depending on the bitness of the OS
i.e.:
32 bit file
<Condition></Condition>
64 bit file
<Condition></Condition>
thanks,
Steve
