I also stopped using Win64, but you need to make sure that the -arch flag is
being passed on the command line to candle and light. One way to do this is
to add the InstallerPlatform MSBuild Property to your project file. You can
unload your project file, and edit it, adding the following statements as
needed.
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x64'
">
......
<InstallerPlatform>x64</InstallerPlatform>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86'
">
......
<InstallerPlatform>x86</InstallerPlatform>
</PropertyGroup>
Then you can observe that -arch will now be passed to the tools, and you do
not need to use the Win64 flag in most situations.
I have also observed that when I use a preprocessor string $(var.SomeValue)
in attributes like Package/@InstallerVersion or Package/@Platform Visual
Studio displays the warning that you posted on the other site, but it seems
to not matter, so I ignore it.
