BTW Chad is correct, you can't have a single MSI that targets x86 & x64
locations on the system, it's an either/or situation.
x86 MSI's on x64 systems will be redirected to the x86 directories &
registry locations by WOW64, x64 MSI's can't be run on x86 systems.
MSI's must have a single platform specified ("Intel" = x86, "AMD64" or
"x64" = x64 & "Intel64" = Itanium).If you need to support 64-bit native installations then creating 2 MSI's & bootstrapping them together so the correct one runs depending on the systems architecture is probably the easiest solution (or you could just produce both, add a LaunchCondition of "NOT VersionNT64" to the x86 package to prevent installing on x64 systems & leave your users to figure it out).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files with the same name Thanks Will - I was confusing Id and Name and Source. Thanks Chad - You're right. The first problem has nothing to do with OS. I will have to study the 32- vs 64-bit problem some more.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files with the same name Kurt - I have several files in one (huge) installer called web.config. Each is a completely different file internally and each in their own Directory and Component with unique GUID. What's the error message you are getting? What version of WiX? I think I've read on here that you can't write one installer that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit, but I might have misunderstood what others were saying. Or perhaps the attempt is leading to the problem?

The solution stores the same file under two different projects. The current vdproj installation references the two files and puts them into their separate folders. But light throws an error if it finds two files with the same name regardless of the directory or component. 2) I need to include files with the same name in the installation. Right now they go into win32 & win64 folders then are manually loaded depending on the OS. We want to move to installing the appropriate DLL and automatic loading. I will probably install one or the other depending on 32- or 64-bit. But, again, light throws an error if any two fiules have the same name regardless of directory of component. How do I include two files with the same name?
