I need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit assemblies into a 32-bit location but I'm not sure how to appropriately setup my MSMs and MSIs. Our end-users will be using these assemblies in Visual Studio and could be developing a 32-bit or 64-bit app. The current layout is that I have a top-level assembly that's MSIL and then two other dependent assemblies where one is x86 and the other is x64. Up till now, I've only had a top-level x86 assembly and one x86 dependent assembly. I bundled these together in a single MSM that was merged into our main MSI that we ship to customers along with the fact that I installed this MSM as a file in the Common Files/Merge Modules location so customers could redeploy. Now we are moving to 64-bit and we changed the top-level assembly to be MSIL and created a new x64 dependent assembly.
I'm looking for advice on the best way to setup my MSMs. Maybe I should just add the x64 bit dependent assembly to the existing MSM and always have users deploy all 3 assemblies (i.e. MSIL, x64, x86) regardless of what platform they are building? The problem that I have seen is issues when people using the Setup projects in Visual Studio. If a setup project has its TargetPlatform set to x86, it can ONLY pull in x86 MSMs and assemblies. If the MSM contains a mixture of 64 and 86, it barfs and says you can't do this. Maybe I should have 3 different MSMs, one for each assembly? I know this is more of a general deployment question, but I thought I would ask -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Installing-64-bit-Assemblies-into-32-bit-Locations-tp2478167p2478167.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
