I'm not installing any DLLs, just two EXEs and a few device drivers. I'm
handling the device drivers through the SetupAPI (considering the switch to
DIFx) so I'm covered there by using the appropriate .inf entries. The EXEs
are compiled for both i386 and AMD64 and I just want to be able to use the
same installation package and not have to maintain two of them.
If I mark the package as both 64bit and 32bit will things just work?
Assuming of course that I put the correct conditions into the components.
Are there any examples of this out there? If not, I'm happy to supply my
test as the example. I'm going to build a hello world of this before
starting to refactor my existing WiX source.
Robert.

Are you installing only 32-bit dll's? Do you have any problems with file
and registry redirection to the 32-bit locations on a 64-bit os? If your
program isn't affected by that, than you can use one package for both. I
just wanted to mention that because just conditioning the components isn't
typically enough to fully utilize the 64-bit architecture. You'd also need
to mark the package as a 64-bit package and any 64-bit components as such
within WiX.

Hi Robert,
What I have done is just setup conditions on the platform specific
components to install or not dependent on the operating system.
eg.
<Component Id="Comp" DiskId="1" Guid="xxxxx-3FD7-4DB0-9BBC-2FDF305DE466">
<!-- Do not install on 64-Bit Windows -->
<Condition>NOT VersionNT64</Condition>
<File Id="file1.dll" Source="..\file1.dll" />
</Component>

The answer to this may be obvious, but I can't seem to find any direction on
how to support multiple target OSes from the same package; say x86 and x64
(AMD64) versions.
My hunch is there is a simple answer but I've not been able to find a sample
project or How-To for this.
Would one of the experts please advise on how to best handle this? I have
two separate and nearly identical packages now that produce two .msi files.
One for x86 and one for x64. I would prefer to have a single package (less
room for mistakes that way).
Thanks.
