Not possible. MSI's have to be targeted at a specific platform type, either "Intel" (32-bit), "Intel64" (Itanium) or "x64"/"AMD64" (64-bit)
A look at a verbose log of your 32-bit package would probably be quite enlightening & before you ask, no there is no way to stop WIN64DUALFOLDERS doing what it does.

Subject: [WiX-users] Targeting 64 bit directory from 32 bit setup Hi, I am creating unified installer for both type of target machine (32 bit as well as 64 bit). Can I target 64 bit directory somehow? Actually am getting directory path from REGISTRY entry. As it gives *c:\program files\my app2* in 64 bit machine registry but while fetching the same key value from setup it gives *c:\program files(x86)\my app2 ... * Why it is saying so ? Moreover, I want to copy few files to this path (*c:\program files\my app2) *but not able to target 64 bit directory through my 32 bit installer msi ? How to achieve this ? This is what I am doin <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id ="app2" SourceName ="[APP2]" DiskId ="1"> <Directory Id ="assembly" Name ="assembly"> <Component Id ="myapp2.xml" Guid =" C0EB0698-ADAA-48b4-AE5F-B50CB1B2BDA2" KeyPath="yes"> <File Id =" myapp2.xml" Source ="myapp2.xml"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Am accessin my property as <Property Id ="APP2"> <RegistrySearch Id ="binpath64" Key ="SOFTWARE\Akash\myapp2" Name ="s InstallDir" Root ="HKLM" Type ="raw" Win64="yes"> </RegistrySearch> </Property> Regards, Akash ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
