How do I add a 64-bit deskband from a 32-bit installer?

I have two deskbands, one is a DLL for Windows 32-bit explorer and one is a DLL for Windows 64-bit explorer. I want to release a 32-bit installer as the main application is 32-bit. However if the installer is run on Windows x64 how do I tell it to register the 64-bit deskband? For an install on Windows x86 how do I tell it not to register the 64-bit DLL? Also does the installer remove those entries if the program is uninstalled? Thanks

Hello,

Here's a similar thread "Registering a DLL for Excel x64" you can follow regarding this.

Actually, our default tool used by auto-register option is the 32-bit regasm but this shouldn't matter since it's a .NET .DLL. Still, if you need to change the tool, you can do so from Options -> External Tools.

All the best,
