As soon as you need to start making 64-bit reg/file-system changes then you need a 64-bit MSI, and of course this won't run on 32-bit windows. It *is* possible to conditionally compile a 32- or 64-bit MSI from a single set of source, but you need to be careful with things like component codes. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Explanation-for-why-you-can%27t-have-both-a-32-bit-and-64-bit-installer-tf4549274.html#a12999699 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
