I should also mention that I don't use <?if?> around the <Package/> element. I set the Platform attribute to $(var.Platform):
<Package InstallerVersion="301" Compressed="yes" Platform="$(var.Platform)"/> So far I only use <?if $(var.Platform) = x86 ?> to choose between ProgramFilesFolder and ProgramFiles64Folder. With any luck I won't need to be choosy anywhere else (we're depending on the build system to place files in the right place). -- Edwin > -----Original Message----- > From: Castro, Edwin (Hillsboro) [mailto:egcas...@checkfree.com] > Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 8:11 PM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] platform agnostic file flag? > > I accomplished the same thing as follows: > > <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> > <?if $(var.Platform) = x86 ?> > <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> > <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="."/> > </Directory> > <?else?> > <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder"> > <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="."/> > </Directory> > <?endif?> > </Directory> > > <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> > <Directory Id="$(var.Manufacturer)" Name="$(var.Manufacturer)"> > <Directory Id="$(var.Product)" Name="$(var.Product)"> > <!-- etc... --> > </Directory> > </Directory> > </DirectoryRef> > > I use the Platform msbuild property set in *.wixproj to tell me whether > I'm building for x86 or not.
