[WiX-users] Bootstrapper for .Net 2.0

[Umesh Joglekar]

 
Hi,
 
Our application needs to have .NET 2.0 installed on the user's machine. It is 
used on both 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems. 
 
I looked at the example on Sourceforge and modified the project to create the 
bootstrapper with 32 bit dotnetfx 2.0, and it works fine. How do I add x64 and 
IA64 redistributables to the project so it can conditionally install these on 
different operating systems?  
 
Or do I need to write an unmanaged Windows bootstrap application to query the 
OS and decide which one to launch?

 

Also it is not clear to me how I can query the registry. If my Win32 
application queries the registry to check to see if the prerequisite is 
installed on x64 OS would it be seeing the WoW part of the registry? As I 
understand it, Win32 applications registry calls would be mapped to a different 
part of the registry. Can someone clarify how these work and how they affect 
the deployment scenarios?
 
Thanks.
 
Umesh
