Maybe I'm missing something but I get nervous checking the registry to find out something about a sql server instance. Perhaps the server isn't even on the machine I'm installing to. I've been known to put connection dialogs in an installer just to validate a connection and write settings out to an app.config.
So I do an executescalar query to check the Edition server property and see if it contains the text "64-bit" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174396.aspx Maybe I'm missing something though. ---------------------------------------- From: "Graf Jeremy AVL/GRZ" <jeremy.g...@avl.com> Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 1:16 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to detect a x64 SQL Server with a x32 wix setup Hi, in my setup I try to find an installed SQL Server instance and write a connection file with a custom action. This is working fine with an x32 SQL server, but it doesn't find a x64 version. I tried to debug this and the path for the registry entry is right, but it seems that he cannot read the information of this path.
