Hi Thomas, I'm fighting with the very example you gave. I've got a x86 package, and I am fine with it running under WOW on x64. In one particular case, I need to read from the 64-bit registry if it's x64, and from the 32-bit registry if not. In otherwords, I always want to get to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft instead of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft. I would think Win64="yes" would do the trick, but it appears to ignore it and give me the WOW key anyway. Is this broken in the latest Wix 3.5 build?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install x64-DLL As far as I've been able to explore, you can't write to x64 areas of the registry in an x86 MSI. You can however read from them using RegistrySearch's with Win64="yes" (although this causes ICE80 warnings). Thomas to do what you want to do you'll need 2 MSI's, one for x86 platforms & one for x64 platforms, there is no other way to do this in Windows Installer. x64 packages can only be installed on x64 platforms but to stop people installing the x86 one on x64 platforms you'll need to add a LaunchCondition ("NOT VersionNT64 OR Installed" should work fine). If you want to provide a single package for installation you can package them together using a bootstrapper which launches the correct one for the relevant platform (dotnetinstaller does this easily http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com/ but there are plenty of other bootstrappers available).

The only other other option that would work I think is to use selfreg or create custom actions to call regsvr32, but they have their own fair share of problems.
