The issue is a combination of these things: * Win64="yes|no" does not apply across executable launch; it's only relevant for in-process actions (dll, script) * Your executable tries to guess where things are instead of being passed a value on the command-line * Your executable takes on the bit-ness of the platform on which it is installed
So I'd actually recommend fixing both of the second points. If you're trying to distribute it as if it's 32-bit, make it 32-bit by changing the project options. Then also, instead of guessing the installation path, make it a command-line argument that is passed in by the custom action. Fixing either will likely resolve your behavior, but fixing both feels cleaner to me. -- Michael Urman On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 04:45, Chirag Goradia <chiraggora...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > We are running custom EXEs ( .NET 2.0 console application ) built with "Any > CPU" platform from a 32bit MSI on 64bit machine. > In the custom EXE, we use * > Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)* to execute > some custom logic on our files installed in the ProgramFiles folder path. > > The issue is on 64bit machine: > 32bit MSI installs files to C:\Program Files (x86)\ > custom EXE runs logic in C:\Program Files\ ... we think this is because it > was built for "Any CPU" platform > > In the <CustomAction > node, we tried to set Win64="no" so that it runs the > custom EXE as if it were on 32bit machine.
