Regarding response to q1 - after sending mail I saw the following comment on http://wix.sourceforge.net/. Is that comment suggesting that fragments are still valid and the recommended way for breaking apart a wxs development project but now the element name used to reference those fragments has changed and the scope of what they contain is defined by how they are referenced?


FragmentRefs were dropped in favor of the strongly-typed *Ref elements.

Regarding response to q2 -- Using the <?if?> flag and $(var.variables) preprocessor references will impact the results of my msi output at compile time based on the host I used to compile versus what happens at msi runtime during installation right?

No, based on the flags that you pass in. For example, you can use a Platform preprocessor variable and use it in <?if>s if you need platform-specific authoring.

Is creating x64 and x86 specific msi build output the current recommended approach versus a single msi that at runtime can handle x64 and x86 installation differences?


MSI doesn't support having one .msi package that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit components.
