Hello All, I currently have a single WiX solution that creates both 32-bit and 64-bit MSI's following http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/09/4317654.aspx Aaron Stebner's post ; I am passing in a platform property to the WiX script and building it twice, once for the 32-bit version and a second time for the 64-bit version. This procedure works well. Unfortunately, I now have a requirement to support both 64-bit and 32-bit registry keys on 64-bit installations.
The MSI installs a plug-in for Microsoft's BizTalk Server. On 64-bit installations, the BizTalk runtime can be hosted in either a native 64-bit environment, or a 32-bit environment under WoW64. Multiple instances of the 64-bit and 32-bit runtimes can be present on the same machine at the same time. On 64-bit environments, I would like my users to be able to install the 64-bit MSI only. However, when the component is hosted under the 32-bit runtime it is trying to look for registry settings under the WOW6432Node which don't exist (as the installation was 64-bit). I'd therefore like to be able to install both 64-bit and 32-bit registry keys (under the WOW6432Node) with the 64-bit installer. I've considered doing something in my code when querying these registry keys under the 32-bit runtime, however given that the executable is 64-bit, Windows is redirecting my request to the WOW6432Node before I can do anything with it.... Any thoughts on how I can achieve this, or maybe a blog post that has covered this problem before?
