You could have two .reg files one for each situation condition the customaction using the Msix64 property.
Having said that, would recommend you use the Wix RegistryKey/RegistryValue instead.

Subject: [WiX-users] 64 bit registry issue with CA Hi All, I am writing 32 bit MSI and it has Custom Action to make some registry entries using .reg file. It works very well on 32 bit machine but on win7 64 bit machine the registry entries are not redirected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node My Custom Action looks like: { <CustomAction Id="InstallRegistry" Directory="INSTALLDIR" ExeCommand='regedit.exe /s Demo.reg' Return="check"/> ... <Custom Action='InstallRegistry' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT Installed</Custom> ... } AND Demo.reg looks like: { REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DemoProgram\Demo] "ABC"=hex:00 "DEF"="DemoValue" } I am using Custom Action to make some registry entries on win7 64 bit machine and it seems that Also if I make direct registry entries in my product.wxs file then it works, but I want it through .reg file. Any pointer on how to do this? Thank You, AK DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
