Environment > cross platform system variables

I am creating a cross-platform installer for out application. For the use of webservices we need to register some system (environment) variables in the registry. In x86 Windows those variables points to C:\PROGRAM FILES, but in x64 Windows we have to point to C:\PROGRAM FILES (x86). How can we do this within a cross-platform installer?

Re: Environment > cross platform system variables

Hello,

Here's an article which should help clarify any related doubt.

Your application should also use 64-bit binaries or interact with 64-bit folder or registry locations. In any other case, authoring a mixed package would be pointless.

All the best,
