Hi
Thanks for the information. I already feared this could be the reason. So what
I am trying to do is the following:
<?if $(var.Platform)=x64 ?>
<!-- 64 bit -->
<MergeRef Id="CRT64" />
<MergeRef Id="ATL64" />
<?else ?>
<!-- 32 bit -->
<MergeRef Id="CRT" />
<MergeRef Id="ATL" />
<?endif ?>
This way, i can hopefully reuse the same wix project. Having the wix project
included in the visual studio solution, I can strangely not set the plattform
(click on WixProject->Settings->Build-> dropdown Plattform) to x64. There is
only the option x86 in the dropdown.
How can I trigger a 64 bit build and would it be possible to change the name of
the msi file when building on a 64 bit platform? (Example: Installer.msi for 32
bit, Installer_x64.msi for 64 bit. All this in the same visual studio wix
project.
I know a may be asking some funny or simple quistions, but i am more or less a
wix newbe and am running out of time.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Dan

You need an x86 package and an x64 package which consume the correct
merge modules.
You can't use x64 merge modules in an x86 package, that's what the error
is trying to tell you.

Subject: [WiX-users] include 32 bit and 64 bit merge modules
Hi
Our setup includes various merge modules. Initially, they were all these
merge modules were fore 32-bit systems. Testing the installed
application on 64-bit windows 7 i found out that we would need the
64-bit merge modules. So I added them to the wxs file:
<!-- 32 bit -->
<Merge Id="VSWINFORMS"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\MStudioUIWinforms.2008.msm"
Language="1033" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIANLYS" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\nianlys.msm"
Language="1033" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIMESADLL" SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\NIMesaDLL.msm"
Language="1033" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIMETAUTILS"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\niMetaUtils.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1" />
<!-- 64 bit -->
<Merge Id="VSWINFORMS64"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\MStudioUIWinforms.2008_x64.msm"
Language="1033" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIANLYS64"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\nianlys_x64.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIMESADLL64"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\NIMesa_x64.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="NIMETAUTILS64"
SourceFile="ThirdParty\MergeModules\niMetaUtils_x64.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1" />
Unfortunately, upon compile I get the following error message:
Encountered an unexpected merge error of type 'msmErrorPlatformMismatch'
for which there is currently no error message to display. More
information about the merge and the failure can be found in the merge
log: 'C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Extnoser1\Lokale
Einstellungen\Temp\5-i_y-vo\merge.log' light.exe 0 1 Installer
How can i make this work? What is the right approach to ensure the
application gets correctly installed on 32 and 64 bit machines.
Thanks in advance..
Dan
