Discrepancies between exe and MSI build

[MatthewDempsey]

I have been having some issues generating an installer. My application folder is wrong for my MSI build, and the formatting seems broken as well.

EXE:

EXE.png (31.12 KiB) Viewed 7272 times

MSI:

MSI.png (31.32 KiB) Viewed 7272 times

The correct application folder is C:\Program Files\, not C:\Program Files(x86)

How can I remedy these issues?

Hello Matthew and welcome to our forums,

Please note that the Surface theme (the one that you are using) requires a features called "Enhanced User Interface" which itself requires the use of an EXE setup.

That being said, that's why your MSI UI looks quite malformed, because the Windows Installer engine (which is super old) can not render the newer themes that we offer. Only our EXE bootstrapper can do that.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

That explains the GUI, however the filepath is still incorrect. Why is it incorrectly Program Files (x86) for the msi?

Thanks for the quick response,
Matt

Hello Matt,

That might be happening if your MSI build is of 32-bit.

If you have multiple builds, e.g. one for EXE and one for MSI, then the MSI build might be 32-bit.

You can check this by going to the "Install Parameters" page and checking the bitness for your MSI build:
