1. No. You can use 32-bit CustomActions in a 64-bit package. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cosmin Manoliu Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 12:13 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix Extension useable for 64 and 32 bit products
Hello Rob, Thank you for the answer. 1. I think I need to mark the MSI package as 64 bit. The reasons are: I am doing COM registration, installation to 64 bit folders. In this case probably I cannot go with 32 bit custom actions. Can you please confirm? The installer process will be a 64 bit process? In this case I guess is not possible for it to call 32 bit custom actions. I am not sure about this, the MSI documentation is not clear for me on this issue. 2. I think I need to go with these option. So far I successfully marshaled the other data to the compiler (following the WiX CustomActions). I don't know how can I marshal the Win64="yes" information to the linker. Can you please point me to a sample or documentation (or WiX source code)? What means unreal table?
