This option is, theoretically, possible and readily available to you. This depends on the needs of your program though. Doing this just so you can have it is not the right reason, but if there is an actual need for it the go ahead.
Some things that you will have to watch out for, however, would be user settings that are shared between versions, isolation of versions, and options that the end user has when installing. All of these things need to be considered, and tested, before release of your packages and the test cases for a larger product could be daunting.

I all ready have two seperate MSIs for each bitage, and they currently share a ProductGUID to prevent any user installing both, but I'm wondering if this should not be the case and that users should be allowed to install both - as seems necessary fot photo editing apps (or anything with 3rd party plugins, I guess). I can see that a different named shortcut would be required to prevent them clashing, for example. But is there any actual harm in offering both? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Should-you-install-32-bit-and-64-bit-versions-os-the-same-application-tp7578776p7578780.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
