If you are installing drivers, you will need a separate installer package (or at least a transform and a bootstrapper) for each OS bitness.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] installing an application as a pure x86 app on Vista 64. I've run the msi using Msiexec as suggested, and attached the resulting log file. The error is: "DIFXAPP: ERROR - You need to use the 64-bit version of DIFXAPP.DLL to install drivers on this machine." So the installer is failing because it isn't able to install the drivers. I've taken over the installer from someone else so I'm still learning about WiX. Within the installer code I've found: <DirectoryRef Id="DriversFolder"> <Component Id ="cyusb" Guid="954D30C8-5CDC-D6AB-3AF6-6CF9823200B3"> <File Id="cyusb.inf" Source="..\Includes\cyusb.inf" KeyPath="yes"/> <File Id="cyusb.sys" Source="..\Includes\cyusb.sys"/> <dfx:Driver Legacy="yes" DeleteFiles="yes"/> </Component> </DirectoryRef> What needs to be changed here so that it will work on both 64 bit and 32 bit machines. Or, do I need to have an installer for each? Thanks for the help so far. I feel like I'm getting somewhere.
