That’s correct but, if you want the app to run as a 64 bit app on a 64 bit O/S,
you need two installers.

Thanks,
This sounds like I can utilize the MSI, since my app single exe can run on both
64bit and 32bit.
I understood everything you said and it makes sense - except for deploying a
.NET app.
As far as I know, a .NET app should be compiled only once for both 32bit and
64bit, no?

32 bit MSIs will install and work just fine under x64 but, those applications
run as 32 bit apps under the WOW64 emulator. What you can't do is create an
MSI that installs a 32 bit app under x86 and a 64 bit app under x64 (even if
the app is a .NET assembly that will run 32bit or 64bit).
If you're OK with having your app run as a 32 bit app on a 64 bit O/S, then
just create a 32 bit MSI and it will probably work just fine on a 64 bit O/S.

Could you elaborate on why this is true even though the x64 version utilizes
the WOW64 emulator?

Subject: [WiX-users] x64 Compatibility
Hello,
I would like to compile an MSI using WIX that is targeted for both x86 and x64
machines.
I've noticed features intended explicitly for x64 machines, however this does
not suit my needs.
Can one single MSI be compatible with both x64 and x86 machines?
Thanks,
Tal.
