Ok. Thank you very much for your help.
I'll try this out.

Yes or at least, I'm not aware of any bugs that would prevent it. MSI 
has both 32-bit and 64-bit install engines.

Thanks for your reply. I am indeed talking about x64 components.
So to be sure I'm not getting mixed up, let me summarize:
-I want to install a 64 bit product (my exes and dll are natively 
compiled for 64bit) on a 64bit OS
-I build an x64 MSI (Platform=x64, Win64=yes in Components, etc...)
-I build a 32bit bootstrapper using setupbld
-This setup will be able to install the embedded x64 MSI.

Am I right?
Thanks again for your help.

The 64-bit WiX installer exists to support MSBuild running as a 64-bit 
process. That's all.

No, no, yes. This all assumes you're talking x64, not IA64.

[WiX-users] setupbld bootstrapper & 64bit

2009-03-18 Thread Frédéric Viollet

Hi,

I'm currently using setupbld (in Wix V3) as a bootstrapper for managing 
my product upgrades.
My team is willing to build a native 64 product. Compilation will be 
done on a 64 bit OS.

My questions are :
-do I have to install the 64bit version of Wix? I guess not...the 32bit 
version should still be working... am I right?
-will setupbld.exe build 64bit executables? If not, could this be a 
problem in installing a 64bit product? Can a 32bit bootstrapper install 
64bit products?


Thanks for your help.

Fred
