[WiX-users] Heat.exe and 64-bit compatibility
Is there a particular reason why Heat.exe is targeted and compiled specifically against the x86 architecture? I have seen a couple of questions about this around on the Internet but no firm answer or resolution. I briefly looked over the Heat code (v3.0.5419.0) and there does not seem to be anything specific that jumps out as being 64-bit incompatible. Then again, it was more a cursory glance than a walkthrough. I am currently migrating our build and development environments to 64-bit. In this process, I'd also like to migrate our current setup projects to MSBuild using the WiX targets and the HeatProject task. I may try my hand at compiling the Heat project for 64-bit process architectures if that's what it comes down to. Any help before it gets ugly would be much appreciated! By the way, using a 64-bit version of MSBuild yields the expected BadImageFormatException from heat.exe.
