There are a sever things you need to do to get 64-bit installs to work 
correctly.  I highly suggest reading all the related 64-bit topics in the MSI 
SDK.

default"Program Files"

Thanks Joel, I used ProgramFiles64Folder but still my files are getting dumped 
to when installations finishes.
C:\Program Files (x86)
I have to manually select installation folder to install at different location.

Is ProgramFiles64Folder property supported on win2k3? How to do I see msi 
version on my machine?


This is my ProgramFiles sections

<Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder" Name="PFiles" LongName='Program Files'>
  <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="$(var.AppShortName)" 
LongName="$(var.AppLongName)">
      <Directory Id="CustomFolder" Name="cfold" LongName="$(var.CFolderName)" >
         <Component Guid="$(var.CGUID)" Id="CComponent" DiskId='1'>
           <File Id='CustomFile' Name='cfile.dll' 
LongName='$(var.CustomFileName)' Checksum='yes' Vital='yes' 
Source='$(var.CustomPath)\$(var.CustomFileName)' />
         </Component>
      </Directory>
  </Directory>
</Directory>


Thanks,
Anil

Hi Anil.

The Windows Installer SDK maintains a list of System Folder Properties that you 
can use for this sort of thing:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372057.aspx

ProgramFiles64Folder<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370880.aspx> 
The full path to the predefined 64-bit Program Files folder.

Hi,
I am not able to figure out how to change default "Program Files" folder to 
something like "Program File 64 bit" in wixs script. How do I specify default 
INSTALLDIR?

I'm newbie to wix.

Thanks a lot,
Anil
