In Visual Studio if you right click your Wix Project & select properties you should be able to get to a tab named "Tool Settings". The box named "Compiler" should be the parameters for candle.exe with the one named "Linker" being similar for light.exe.
I use VS2005 & VS2008 which are both as above but having not looked at VS2010 I can't confirm if it's the same (although I would expect it to be but you never know). Bob's blog page also mentions an <InstallerPlatform> property in WiXProj's which I can't find in any of mine but as I build all my MSI's as x86 I think it may need to be manually added if it doesn't read it from the solution platform setting.

Bob A mentions it in on his blog @ > http://www.joyofsetup.com/2010/05/14/working-hard-or-hardly-working/ When using plain old msbuild to build my solution file, how do I influence the command line for candle.exe? I found this example which looks pretty much like what I have already tried: http://insomniacgeek.com/how-to-target-32bit-and-64bit-a-net-application s-with-wix-and-separate-msi-packages/ "The value you choose here will be transferred to the Platform variable in WiX" is the part I'm having trouble with. The Build Configuration Manager refuses to let me specify "x64" as a target for my .wixproj. Hence the "-dPlatform=x86" parameter never changes. -- Rune ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
