Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit wix tools (heat/etc...)

2008-07-07 Thread Blair Murri
Pyro.exe would be broken by making it a 64-bit tool, since it has to interop 
with a 32-bit dll (not via COM) that does not exist in a 64-bit version.

Heat is the only tool that might benefit from it. Heat doesn't currently
have an owner, though, so I'm not aware of any plans to make an x64
version of it. Feel free to file a feature request or, better yet,
submit a patch.

[WiX-users] 64-bit wix tools (heat/etc...)

2008-07-02 Thread Aaron Averbuch
Great work moving towards 64-bit compatibility so far.

 

What's the latest timeframe expected on 64-bit tools, especially
compiling heat.exe for both x64 and x86 for .NET? 

(it would be great to get them separately, rather than anycpu, such that
we could run both, as appropriate for the dll being harvested, on an x64
build machine)

 

I'd love to be able to harvest regkey settings out of 64-bit dlls, and
obviously, x64 heat would be needed for this, since x86 heat can't load
the files.

 

Thanks,

Aaron Averbuch
