You need to set the Win64 attribute on your components. If it's not set they default to 32-bit components in an x64 package. An easy way to do it is to use a pre-processor variable set to "no" or "yes" whether you're building x86 or x64 packages respectively. Then you can simply use something like Win64="$(var.is64bit)" in all the components you need to. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/preprocessor.htm

Subject: [WiX-users] Newbie x64 msi question Hi... I've got some old wix scripts installing msil .net assemblies in the gac and adding registry entries for com interop. These things will work x64 as is, so I tried the installer without making any particular changes to the old scripts. What I found, though, was that ... <Registry Id="Registry4" Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{6D7F6B50-88B9-11D4-A757-006008A7291E}\InprocServer32" Type="string" Value="mscoree.dll" /> <Registry Id="Registry5" Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{6D7F6B50-88B9-11D4-A757-006008A7291E}\InprocServer32" Name="ThreadingModel" Type="string" Value="Both" /> ... All the class id registry settings ended up in the \Wow6432Node\ subtree while all the class names ended up in the top HKCR root. What do I need to set in the wix script to tell it to put the entries in the 64-bit hive? I mean, theoretically I could make all the entries in both since the msil code could run in either circumstance...
