Good point. In my case, the -arch switch is always being correctly set. That may make a significant difference.

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. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/util-RegistrySearch-Registry-key-not-found-when-using-variable-inside-Win64-var-Win64-tp7593659p7593672.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
