Hi, I didn't get much traction on my question or at least my last question... ALL of my MSI use this format in a variable.wxi files I have:
<?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?> <?define Win64=yes ?> <?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName) (64 bit)" ?> <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?> <?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec64"?> <?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExec64CmdLine"?> <?else ?> <?define Win64=no ?> <?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName)" ?> <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?> <?define PlatformCAQuietExecDLLEntry = "CAQuietExec"?> <?define PlatformQtExecCmdLine = "QtExecCmdLine"?> <?endif ?> Should I use: <?if $(sys.BUILDARCH) = x64 ?> and NOT <?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?> ?? What about my wixlib where I have 2 files that have a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version what is the proper way to say 32 bit file install on a 32 bit OS and 64 bit file install on a 64 bit OS AND 32 bit file can be installed on 64 bit OS since the x86 MSI can be installed on 64bit OS? <Component Id="cmp_SQLite.Interop_x86" Guid="SOME GUID"> <File Id="file_SQLite.Interop_x86" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.sourcePath)ThirdParty\SQLite\x86\SQLite.Interop.dll" /> <Condition>< ! [ CDATA [NOT(VersionNT64) OR $(var.Platform) = "x86"] ] ></Condition> </Component> <Component Id="cmp_SQLite.Interop_x64" Guid="SOME GUID"> <File Id="file_SQLite.Interop_x64" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.sourcePath)ThirdParty\SQLite\x64\SQLite.Interop.dll" /> <Condition>< ! [ CDATA [VersionNT64 OR $(var.Platform) = "x64"] ] ></Condition> </Component> thanks, Steve ps I have put some spaces in the Condition since the nabble message format strips out the data -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Best-practice-for-setting-x86-x64-for-MSI-s-and-installing-files-tp7592126.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
