Are you including different files between the two builds? I would ensure the common files are in one CAB and anything that is unique to x86 vs x64 in their own CABS.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installer size doubles up if signed I use the following in the setup project (this ofcourse happens once for x64 and after that for x86) <Target Name="SignCabs"> <Exec Command='"Signtool.exe" sign /i "digi" /t " http://timestamp.digicert.com"; "%(SignCabs.FullPath)"' /> </Target> <Target Name="SignMsi"> <Exec Command=""signtool.exe" sign /i "digi" /t "http://timestamp.digicert.com" "%(SignMsi.FullPath)"" /> </Target> and the following in the bootstrapper project <Target Name="SignBundleEngine"> <Exec Command=""signtool.exe" sign /i "digi" /t "http://timestamp.digicert.com" "@(SignBundleEngine)"" /> </Target> <Target Name="SignBundle"> <Exec Command=""signtool.exe" sign /i "digi" /t "http://timestamp.digicert.com" "@(SignBundle)"" /> </Target> Perhaps I would need to find a way to sign all the cab files together with a single signtool command. That would take care of the timestamp issue? On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 9:12 PM, Hoover, Jacob <jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com> wrote: > Yes, and because of this burn is including the appropriate CABS.
