Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute Win64 in Component
Yes but you will get an ICE80 error when compiling if you set Win64=yes on a component when your MSI is an x86 build vice-versa. Why would you want to?

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute Win64 in Component
If you need a mixed installer, then you have to make it a 64 bit installer. It doesn't make sense to install 64 bit components on a 32 bit system anyway, so just don't include those components in your 32 bit installer, or alternately, don't offer a 32 bit installer. In some corporate environments, that might work.

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute Win64 in Component
Hmmm -- I guess my question is -- what am I risking? Getting rid of the 32-bit installer is a non-starter for us (this isn't a corporate environment), and the 32-bit mixed installer works perfectly in both environments. (Our 64-bit components don't actually take up much room). A single installer (at least for this product) seems to be a cleaner approach. Is there some gotcha I'm missing here?

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute Win64 in Component
The gotcha is that you cannot have a 32 bit installer install 64 bit components.

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute Win64 in Component
MSI doesn't support a single installer for multiple architectures. That's the problem. You'll never get a 32bit installer to validate with 64 bit components in it, period. MSI requires that you build a single installer for each architecture you target. You can use conditional statements and variable replacement in your .wxs file to have a single source file, but generate the two .msi files, but you must have the two. *shrug* Just how it is.
