so, the WiX DTF is always 32-bit? even the 64-bit install?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Custom Action Registry problem Windows Installer does that, and it looks at the bitness of the code and (if necessary) launches a matching-bitness msiexec.exe process to call the Dll (which is how I think DTF CAs start up). That's why the only custom action type that has a "run in 64-bit mode" option is a script type because you can't tell from a script what bitness it should run with, unlike compiled binaries.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Custom Action Registry problem Could WiX be launching the CA as in 32-bit mode? -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Jensen [mailto:kurt.jen...@ophir-spiricon.com] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 1:34 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Custom Action Registry problem yeah, I thought about that. it is a C# custom action built for the "Any CPU" platform running on a 64-bit OS in a 64-bit WiX install. I don't know how it could possibly be 32-bit. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Dahlbacka [mailto:simon.dahlba...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 1:22 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Custom Action Registry problem that seems to indicate that your custom action is running as 32-bit, if you run them as 64-bit things should just work..
