Not unless you can re-write the standard error messages thrown by error codes in Windows Installer (I'm guessing you don't work for the Windows Installer team at Microsoft so that'd be a no). See error code 1633 on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368542.aspx
Note that error codes are completely different things to Windows Installer Error Messages (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx). You can author your own custom text for an error message using the Error UI Element in WiX (which writes to the Error table in your MSI) but you can't re-write a message for an error code thrown by msiexec. I would suggest wrapping your MSI with a bootstrapper if it's that important to handle this elegantly. That way you'll be able to write a more friendly error message rather than having to rely on the one msiexec throws.

Subject: [WiX-users] error message for 64 bit installer on 32 bit machine Hi, When we try to install a 64 bit MSI on a 32 bit machine, the error message is not clear. The error message is: " This installation package is not support by this processor type". Can we change this message?
