Hello Marc,
I do this all the time, building both a 32-bit MSI and a 64-bit MSI from the
same source simply based on the platform selected. I have a WiX include file
containing the following:
<?if $(var.Platform) = "x64" ?>
<?define Win64 = "yes"?>
<?define PlatformType = "x64"?>
<?define WindowsFolderName = "win64"?>
<?define NumBitsFolder = "64-bit"?>
<?define PlatformCommonFilesFolder = "CommonFiles64Folder"?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder"?>
<?else?>
<?define Win64 = "no"?>
<?define PlatformType = "x86"?>
<?define WindowsFolderName = "windows"?>
<?define NumBitsFolder = "32-bit"?>
<?define PlatformCommonFilesFolder = "CommonFilesFolder"?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder"?>
<?endif?>
which allows me to specify my Program Files folder as:
<Directory Id="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)">
components as:
<Component Id="my_component_id" Guid="{PUT-GUID-HERE}" Win64="$(var.Win64)">
and to include installer elements conditionally such as:
<?if $(var.Platform) != "x64" ?>
...
<?endif?>
I use a single Product.wxs for both configurations and then just make
differences where needed using the above if statement.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] VS Building using Different platforms
Hello
I searched and can't find anything on the subject, my guess is my search is
inaccurate since I am not sure how to explain this.
I have an MS VisualStudio 2012 wix project that when I compile my solution
it I output an MSI using the newly built binaries.
That being said I would like to create 2 MSIs one 32bit OR one 64bit MSI
depending on the build configuration I selected (32 or 64bit).
Can I change the Platform value in the Package tag depending on the build
configuration selected?
Can I have 2 different Product.wxs files one for 32 and one for 64 and the
build selects the appropriate one depending on the build config.
Are there better ways of doing this?
Essentially my end goal is to have one project that outputs two MSIs,
32/64bit.
Thanks for the advice,
Marc
