Force using one install dir for different platform.

[prasanth.tech]

Hi,

I have a 32-bit Installer which install files in “C:\Program Files\Product Name” on 32 bit platform and “C:\Program Files(X86)\Product Name” on 64 bit platform. I have a requirement to use only one path “C:\Program Files\Product Name” for both platforms. Please let me know how this can be achieved in AdvancedInstaller.
Basically, I am migrating one Installer from Installshield which uses a constant static path “C:\Program Files\Product Name” during installation irrespective of platforms.
I tried a method by creating a new folder “Program Files” under “TargetComputer\Windows Volume” in IDE. But it didn’t work.

Thanks,
Prasanth

Hi Prasanth,

In order to achieve this you need to create a "Mixed 32/64-bit package" by choosing this option in the "Package Type" combobox from the "Install Parameters" page.
