Using WIX and the Windows Installer you cannot mix 32 bit and 64 bit files, whomever created that 3rd party merge module shouldn't have mixed 32/64 bit period...
You will have to have a 32 bit MSI and a 64 bit MSI, use burn to install them.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Third Party Merge Module Issue (32/64bit) I understand that I will end up with a 32bit package only ion the end, but VS 2010 accepts this 3rd party MSM file and builds its 32 bit package with complaining. Wix is reporting this ICE80: error. Is there not a way I can have wix do like visial studio, simply include the MSM and use the 32bit portions of it. How can visual studio setup project handle this, wix seems infinitely more powerful, I am sure there is a way I can include this msm in my setup the same way I do it in VS. Would using something like dark or orca give insight on how VS does this? Thanks again...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Third Party Merge Module Issue (32/64bit) This is dangerous territory. The docs explicitly say you can't do this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367451(v=vs.85).as px And generally you need two MSI files for different architectures: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2008/01/15/different-packages-are-req uired-for-different-processor-architectures.aspx I think maybe Burn is your friend if you can have two packages and just get the appropriate combination installed for a system.

My installer is 32bits and needs to remain this way. I initially had an installer built with VS2010 and all this worked fine without any interaction from me. I am curious on learning wix and want to convert this VS setup project to something more flexible. I have successfully included the VS MSMs to my package but this third party MSM is mixing both 32 and 64bit components in the same MSM. Any suggestions on how to deal with this in WIX.
