Yes something is checking the platform setting. Your comment is otherwise too vague. Since you need separate setups for 32-bit and 64-bit systems it's often best to make sure that all the code that runs during the install is of the appropriate bitness. You don't want a 32-bit (64-bit) hosting process or Dll trying to call a 64-bit (32-bit) Dll or some other invalid cross architecture thing. --------------- Phil Wilson
