The windows installer is finding the path from the registry correctly as C:\Program Files\Java\jre6, but your MSI is 32 bit so if you try to use it, it will automatically be converted to the 32 bit location.
Best practice is to use a 64 bit msi to install 64bit or anycpu software onto 64 bit operating systems. -----Original Message----- From: Tim St. Clair [mailto:timoth...@gmail.com] Sent: 19 March 2011 18:23 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] 64-bit java registry detection? So I have the following WiX .xml which appears to translate the registry key information from what I see in the registry <!--Find the location of the Java installation--> <Property Id="JVMVERSION"> <RegistrySearch Id="JavaVersionSearch" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" Key="SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" Name="CurrentVersion" Win64="yes" /> </Property> <Property Id="JVMDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id="JavaDirSearch" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" Key="SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\[JVMVERSION]" Name="JavaHome" Win64="yes" /> </Property> <SetProperty Id="JVMLOCATION" Value="[JVMDIR]bin\java.exe" After="AppSearch"/> Expected Result (from regedit): C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 Actual Result: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6 There are no entires in the 32-bit registry.
