I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I couldn't find anything on it on the WiX archive or anywhere else on the web after much hair pulling. Any knowledge that can be imparted would be appreciated.
On 64-bit OSes I need to install both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of my Inproc COM server. Here is what my existing WiX source looks like for installing and registering the 32-bit COM server: <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="RMCLink"> <Component Id="COMComponent" Guid="FF1B1ACD-AE7C-48CD-BC42-F059614AFC8B"> <File Source="Image\RMCLink.dll" Vital="yes" /> <TypeLib Id="E430ED85-D7FA-4303-92BD-68B671F234AB" Advertise="yes" MajorVersion="3" MinorVersion="0" Description="RMCLink 3.0 Type Library" HelpDirectory="INSTALLDIR" Language="0"> <AppId Id="E93F288A-D774-49D6-AB59-6A1BF08EC8BF" Advertise="yes"> <Class Id="CA7473F7-2DF3-45CE-A180-CA7CBF81F190" Advertise="yes" Context="InprocServer32" Programmable="yes" ThreadingModel="both" Description="RMCLinkServer Class"> <ProgId Id="RMCLink.RMCLinkServer.3"> <ProgId Id="RMCLink.RMCLinkServer" /> </ProgId> </Class> </AppId> </TypeLib> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> So, I need to add this 64-bit version for 64-bit builds: <File Source="Image\RMCLink64.dll" Vital="yes" /> How do I get it in there? Notice that both the x86 and x64 versions share the same TypeLib, AppId, and CLSID. In terms of registering, all I need to do is get the installer to add the InprocServer32 to the non-WOW6432Node version of the CLSID node, so I was toying with something like this under the INSTALLDIR Directory element: <Component Id="COMComponent" Guid="*" Win64="yes"> <File Source="Image\RMCLink64.dll" Vital="yes" /> <Class Id="CA7473F7-2DF3-45CE-A180-CA7CBF81F190" Advertise="yes" Context="InprocServer32" Programmable="yes" ThreadingModel="both" Description="RMCLinkServer Class"> <ProgId Id="RMCLink.RMCLinkServer.3"> <ProgId Id="RMCLink.RMCLinkServer" /> </ProgId> </Class> </File> </Component> However, it seems wrong to have that much duplicate information. Also, I expect that I should change the directory to "ProgramFilesFolder64", although I'm not sure if it's OK to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit components in my install directory. Anyone know the correct way to do this?
