Re: .NET Wix Custom Action in "Mixed 32/64-bit..."

i tested a bit around and the problem is a little more delicate, than expected...

the custom action runs on x64, but it tries to write a file to "C:\Program Files\XXX"
using standart c# file functions. Under Windows 7 the written file does not land
in the expected folder (C:\Program Files\XXXX ...

regards, alex

packages.

I need ...
