Hi Gareth, I install 32-bit applications in a 64-bit installer all the time. I use the Win64="no" attribute on the 32-bit registry entries to ensure they go in the 32-bit hive on the 64-bit platform.

So, we add a dll that allows the 64-bit operating system to interogate our bespoke document formats in order to draw pretty thumbnail previews. But this code only works if the operating sytem has the required dependencies also installed. I cannot install my 32-bit application in a 64-bit package as it will not have it's registry in the expected virtualised area. I can install my single 64-bit dll within my 32-bit package though - just as I have time and time again. And I used to be able to include and distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit VC90 merge modules. This has only caused a problem when updating the VC90 merge modules with the VC100 equivelent. Bob, are you suggesting that Microsoft have deliberatly sabotaged their merge module behaviour in order to prevent what might be prceived as a hack in installations that is installing them both in a 32-bit package? If so then how can a 64-bit operating system interogate a bespoke file format in order to draw a thumbnail preview when it is installed as part of a 32-bit package?
