I am supposed to create a MSI package using WiX that can detect whether the computer it's on has 32-bit or 64-bit architecture, and install different files for each. I have browsed Nabble and found replies that say making a single installer that does this is impossible, such as these:
http://www.nabble.com/32-and-64-bit-installer-in-one-tf2635209.html http://www.nabble.com/64-bit-newbie-question-tf3979370.html However my boss is not satisfied with this explanation and wants a detailed technical explanation of why WiX or Windows Installer cannot do this. Could any of you give this explanation or perhaps suggest an alternative that I could do? Any links to outside sources would be great, since I suspect my boss doesn't trust Nabble much. Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Explanation-for-why-you-can%27t-have-both-a-32-bit-and-64-bit-installer-tf4549274.html#a12982169 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
