Looking a bit more at installing drivers ..
I have a utility (both a 64bit and a 32bit version) that runs and does the

My msi can install the files for all versions of the required drives into

My question is can a 32 bit Install launch a 64bi
Is it possible to have a single 32 bit install that installs both a 64 bit
and 32 bit driver?
How can I do this?
Also when can I find docs for installing a driver with Wix ?
Many thanks,
