Burn should simply be installing packages, commonly MSI packages. For a single MSI, it has to have its bitness set as either 32 / 64. Windows Installer will do the proper folder redirection for you.
In your case, I would think you would have a single bundle, with two (or more) MSI packages. The packages should be conditionally installed based on OS bitness, and for the case of an x64 machine, you may not want to install the same 32 bit package, and instead install the core application as a 64 bit application (IE, if it's a .Net app compiled as AnyCPU, or if you have a specific 64 bit compile of your application). Some x64 installs will install limited "shims" to communicate between the x86 and x64 locations. -----Original Message----- From: wanderb [mailto:wander.br...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2014 2:21 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix burn bootstrapper ARP values missing. Hi, I am currently validating the app using the Windows App kit certify. It looks like I have to get rid of a warning which says: Program XXXX fails due to missing install location. Native apps e.g. 32 and 64 bit must be installed to the %ProgramFiles% folder by default, note that 32 bit apps installing on x64 versions of Windows must be stored under %ProgramFiles(x86)%. Storing program files in another folder can cause access and security problems for the user. I have 2 separated wix files for 32 and 64 bts, where I specify < Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" > and < Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder" > respectively. I have been investigating the root of the problem; and in the WoW6432node register on a x64 machine the registry values are missing. I am wondering if there is anybody facing/has faced the same problem before? or if there is a way to know how Wix Burn is adding an ARP entry in the WoW6432node registry value? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-burn-bootstrapper-ARP-values-missing-tp7595741.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
