Hi everyone and thanks Pally for replying.
Here is what I want to do -
I have two installers of a product, one for 32bit version and one for
64bit version. Now, my task is to combine them both into one single
installer. There are certain dlls that will go into both 32bit and
64bit. So I am confused as to what to do with those components for those
dlls? Following is an example of an excerpt from the .wxs file of the 64
bit installer -
<Component Id="ABCFiles" Guid="A22C7A89-465B-4912-819E-3D54DF7C326E"
Win64="yes">
<File Id="ABC123.resources.dll"
Name="ABC.resources.dll" ShortName="ABC"
Source="$(var.BINARIES.DIR)es/ABC.resources.dll" ReadOnly="yes" />
</Component>
And in the 32 bit, the only difference is that the 'Win64="yes"'
attribute is not there. So what to do with the combined installer for 32
bit and 64 bit? One workaround for this problem is to add each of these
components twice with 'condition' in all of them checking whether it is
32 bit or 64 bit.
e.g.
<Component Id="ABCFiles" Guid="A22C7A89-465B-4912-819E-3D54DF7C326E">
<File Id="ABC123.resources.dll"
Name="ABC.resources.dll" ShortName="ABC"
Source="$(var.BINARIES.DIR)es/ABC.resources.dll" ReadOnly="yes" />
<Condition><![CDATA[Installed OR (VersionNT >= 600)]]></Condition>
</Component>
<Component Id="ABCFiles" Guid="A22C7A89-465B-4912-819E-3D54DF7C326E"
Win64="yes">
<File Id="ABC123.resources.dll"
Name="ABC.resources.dll" ShortName="ABC"
Source="$(var.BINARIES.DIR)es/ABC.resources.dll" ReadOnly="yes" />
<Condition><![CDATA[Installed OR (VersionNT64 >=600)]]></Condition>
</Component>
So there are two separate components for each of the dlls. And yes the
GUID will be different in both the components above. Does anyone have a
better solution or workaround?
Thanks and Regards,
Makarand

Yes but you will get an ICE80 error when compiling if you set
Win64="yes" on a component when your MSI is an x86 build & vice-versa.
Why would you want to?

Subject: [WiX-users] Question regarding the attribute "Win64" in
"Component"
Hello everyone,
Can I use the attribute Win64 in the Component for 32 bit applications?
I read that Win64 attribute is applicable for both 32 and 64 bit.
Thanks and Regards,
