Thanks for all the replies. My problem is that our tool is calling the WiX compiler, binder and linker directly, without light.exe - light.exe is 32-bit only, probably because winterop.dll (interop to Windows CabBuilder) is 32-bit only. Now calling the WiX binder directly from our 64-bit tool, invoking anything from winterop fails (BadImageFormatException).
Any chance in getting a 64-bit release of winterop.dll?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] wix3_x64.msi The x64 CA's also come with the x86 version of WiX. I believe the only difference between the x86 and x64 releases of WiX is the MSBuild difference mentioned below. Also, to be clear, while some of the custom actions are also built as 64-bit DLLs, others are not, and support 64-bit scenarios through the Wow64 API.
