Thanks Blair. It sounds like we will need to build a 64-bit installer so that we can access the 64-bit registry and file system.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit installers - when and why? If you want to install into a 64-bit directory, you will need a 64-bit installation package. Note that that package will then not work on a 32-bit OS. If you are fine installing your 64-bit code in 32-bit directories, you will be fine. I don't know what the logo requirements are for 64-bit applications, but I would suspect that they are required to be in 64-bit directories. -----Original Message----- From: Alastair Smith [mailto:alastair.sm...@citrix.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 8:51 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] 64-bit installers - when and why? Hi everyone I'm looking into adding full 64-bit support to my application which is currently deployed via WiX and Windows Installer. I've done some Internet searches, but I can't work out whether or not a 64-bit installer solution is required technically or even as part of Windows certification. In what situations is it necessary to produce a 64-bit installer solution? When and why would I need to do this? Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
