Others have provided good advice which should allow you to resolve the problem. From an application perspective I would collect the same files in the same folder tree that your wix installer is collecting, and manually copy them to a PC which has never been touched by Visual Studio (or Blend). Put the files in the correct location on a x64 bit system, based on what your wix setup should have done and make sure that your application works in that scenario (eliminating any involvement by wix). If you application still has an issue troubleshoot that issue without involving wix. Since it appears to be a .Net based application use the fusion log tools. Saying that your application works fine in a development environment is not a substitute for doing the above research.
Regarding the comments about dependencies, by using Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll, at a minimum there are dependencies required which may not be on the target system. Look at the Expression SDK deployment rules. And your other files may also create dependencies which if not investigated cannot be ruled out. >From a wix perspective, a prior post provided a link to information on how to create a x64 install. The wix code posted does not conform to any of the needed changes. Your project file does not use the InstallerPlatform property, which is the prefered method of signalling that you wish to target a x64 bit system. Failing that I do not know if you are using the -arch switch for the wix tools. Failing that you are not using the deprecated Package/@Platfom or Component/@Win64, and related attributes. You appear to be telling MSI that the files are 32 bit files and installing them into 32 bit WOW64. You should not use ProgramFilesFolder for 64 bit files. Maybe a look at the prior post which explains these details would help. I do not think there is a magic bullet here, and it is very likely that there are multiple issues. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Making-64-bit-installer-from-32bit-wix-file-tp7593557p7593682.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.
