Are you sure your CA is not running in a 64bit process? Check the value of IntPtr.Size. Note that 'rundll32.exe' despite its name is actually a 64bit process when launched from SYSTEM32 on a 64bit OS.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit install with 64 bit managed custom action It shouldn't matter if thare are some AnyCPU dependencies. MSI will run the CA as 64bit if it detects it is a 64bit DLL. In the case of a managed custom action, the significant thing is the unmanaged wrapper, SfxCA.dll. Can you check the MSBuild verbose log? Build the project from the command-line with msbuild.exe /v:d /p:Platform=x64 yourca.csproj See if it is actually using sdk\x64\SfxCA.dll, and if not, see if you can find why not. Or send me the log and I'll take a look. For reference, these are the lines from wix.ca.targets that switch based on the platform. <CreateProperty Value="$(WixSdkPath)x86\SfxCA.dll" Condition=" '$(SfxCADll)' == '' and '$(Platform)' != 'x64'"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="SfxCADll" /> </CreateProperty> <CreateProperty Value="$(WixSdkPath)x64\SfxCA.dll" Condition=" '$(SfxCADll)' == '' and '$(Platform)' == 'x64'"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="SfxCADll" /> </CreateProperty> -Jason- -----Original Message----- From: Amy Rosewater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 12:59 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit install with 64 bit managed custom action Jason, Yes, I added the x64 platform for that project, and compiled the custom action project to that platform. Does it matter that my custom action project has dependencies to other projects that are compiled for any CPU? Those projects are not set to compile from my solution when in x64 as the active configuration.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit install with 64 bit managed custom action Did you add an x64 platform configuration to your managed CA project? The MSBuild rules for managed custom actions should automatically package the CA with the correct platform of SfxCA.dll based on the project's platform configuration. -----Original Message----- From: Amy Rosewater [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 12:23 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] 64 bit install with 64 bit managed custom action Hi All, I have an install that is set for a 64 bit machine (that is, the platform is set to x64, the components are all marked as 64 bit etc.). I also have a managed custom action dll written in c# which I compile to target the 64 bit framework. However, when I execute the install, I see msiexec *32 and rundll32.exe processes spun up during the execution of my custom action. How do I stop that?
