So 99% of the files are 32 bit and if the Outlook bit is 32bit the 64 bit files are not installed and it is installed to ProgramFilesFolder... if the Outlook bit is 64 then the 99% plus the 3 64 bit files are installed to ProgramFiles64Folder it seems silly to have 2 msi's for changing a path and adding 3 files that are conditionally set to install or not...
Plus MS says: " A Windows Installer package must be specified as either a 32-bit or a 64-bit package; it cannot be specified as neutral. On a computer using a 64-bit operating system, the Windows Installer service is hosted in a 64-bit process that installs both 32-bit and 64-bit packages. Windows Installer installs three types of Windows installer packages on a computer running a 64-bit operating system: 32-bit packages that contain only 32-bit components. 64-bit packages containing some 32 bit components. 64-bit packages containing only 64 bit components. " To me that is giving me leeway to do want I want to do... If I didn't have to install that other feature to ProgramFIlesFolder always this wouldn't be an issue :( Steve -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phil.wil...@mvps.org] Sent: October-03-12 1:08 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] different features to differentProgramFilesFolder... I'd say it was more than a recommendation. The docs explicitly say that 32-bit packages can contain only 32-bit components, so with any 32-bit components you're pretty well bound to making a package for 32-bit and another for 64-bit. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367451(v=vs.85).as px Phil -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 9:39 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] different features to differentProgramFilesFolder... The only difference between the two installers is 3 files... the 3 files are either 32 bit or 64 bit depending on the bit of Outlook seems to be a lot of maintenance for something simple as changing the installdir from programfilesfolder to programfiles64folder for two different features... -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: October-03-12 12:30 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] different features to differentProgramFilesFolder... The usual recommendation is to create separate installers for 32 and 64 bit. -----Original Message----- From: StevenOgilvie [mailto:sogil...@msn.com] Sent: 03 October 2012 17:15 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] different features to differentProgramFilesFolder... I really need some help in this please... I have 1 feature being installed to programfiles64folder (it depends whether or not it gets installed to programfilesfolder or programfiles64folder) and another feature to programfilesfolder I haven't been able to accomplish this... thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/different-feat u res-to-different-ProgramFilesFolder-tp7581021p7581055.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
