Good morning,
I am struggling a little, I have created a 64bit installer (am running it on a
64bit virtual machine) and am trying to copy files into the System32 folders
and sub folders.
I have installed the files initially into the program files location, however I
then use a <FileCopy> to copy them over to the correct folder in System32.
<Component Win64="$(var.Win64)" Id="cmpDBC0DF1CD" Guid="{SHORT}">
<File Id="filD3AFD" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.SourceDir)\ driver.dll">
<CopyFile Id="CopyPrintDriver64"
DestinationProperty="MY_CUSTOM_DESTINATION_SPOOL64" />
<CopyFile Id="CopyPrintDriver643"
DestinationProperty="MY_CUSTOM_DESTINATION_SPOOL643" />
</File>
</Component>
I decided to use an include file for setting up standard variables, and the
installer has a property so that I can use the destination in the FileCopy:
<?define spoolDrivers643=$(env.windir)\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3 ?>
<Property Id="MY_CUSTOM_DESTINATION_SPOOL643" Value="$(var.spoolDrivers643)" />
The problem is that even though this is a 64bit installer on a 64bit machine I
am seeing the Wow redirector applying to the property:
MSI (s) (7C:34) [09:33:24:321]: WIN64DUALFOLDERS: 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\' will
substitute 20 characters in 'C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\' folder
path. (mask argument = 0, the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 1).
MSI (s) (7C:34) [09:33:24:321]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying
MY_CUSTOM_DESTINATION_SPOOL64 property. Its current value is
'C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64'. Its new value:
'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\spool\DRIVERS\x64\'.
Just to clarify I am building with Wix 3.6.3213.0:
candle -arch x64 -out CB3-64bit.wixobj CB3-v3.wxs
light -ext WixUiExtension -ext WixUtilExtension -sw1076 -dPlatform=x64 -out
CB3-64bit.msi CB3-64bit.wixobj
Which clearly I don't want it to redirect. How can I turn it off?
