I have a product that will use a 64bit installer. It uses an exe 
wrapper
for the jar files so that the programs can be entered as Windows
services and the config programs can run from the Start menu. The
wrapper requires different binaries for the type of JVM installed, 
32bit
executables for runnning the jars under a 32bit JVM, and 64bit
executables for running the same jars under a 64bit JVM.

The requirements for the 64bit installer is to detect which JVM is
installed. If it finds the 64bit JRE, it stops there and installs 
the
64bit exe's (and the associated jar files) under 
ProgramFiles64Folder,
upon failing that, it should search for the 32bit JRE, and then 
install
the 32bit exe's (and associated jar files) under 
ProgramFilesFolder.

Here is the WiX snippet I have:

    <Property Id="JRE64">
      <RegistrySearch Id="J64REVER" Type="raw"
        Root="HKLM" Key="Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime 
        Environment\CurrentVersion" Name="JavaVersion" />
    </Property>

    <Property Id="JRE32">
      <RegistrySearch Id="J32REVER" Type="raw"
        Root="HKLM" Key="Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime 
        Environment\CurrentVersion" Name="JavaVersion" />
    </Property>

    <Condition Message="This application requires Java Version 7 
    or higher">
      <![CDATA[ (Installed OR JRE32 OR JRE64) AND JRE32 < "1.7" 
      AND JRE64 < "1.7"  ]]>
    </Condition>

I don't think my condition is right. What I want it to say, in 
pseudo
code, is:
 
IF (
      (NOT JRE32 OR JRE32 < "1.7")
     AND
      (NOT JRE64 OR JRE64 < "1.7")
   )
THEN stop install with the message.

Since it is possible to have both an 32bit JRE and 64bit JRE 
installed
on a 64bit system, it is important to check for both, but default 
to the
64bit JRE if it is up-to-date and available.

Thanks!
