Because my extension includes a Custom Action DLL, and that needs to be 32/64 bit. They perform registry operations on installation, and need to be 64-bit aware.
My other option would be to make my extension platform aware, so it can include the proper .DLL Have any suggestions for how to accomplish that? I'll mess around for a bit and see if I can come up with something. Thanks for the info!
