create msi thats add files in x86 and amd 64

[rofo]

Hi!

If I install my msi package and chose to install in c:\program files (x86)\wendia\POB, then it have to create a folder in c:\program files\wendia\POB\ICONS. If i install in diffrent folder, ex c:\program files (x86)\POB then ICONS folder have to be created in c:\program files\POB.
Is it possible to do that?

Hello Roger,

Please keep in mind that a 32-bit installation package, on 64-bit machines, cannot install resources into 64-bit locations (i.e. "Program Files" folder). Also, it is not recommended to split application resources installation in different location paths. Why do you need this?

As a solution you could create a "Mixed 32/64-bit matching the platform" package type which can install application resources in "Program Files" folder on both, 32-bit and 64-bit, operating systems.

Let us know if this helps, otherwise please give us more details about your scenario.

All the best,
Daniel

Hi Roger,

You can ask your client the same questions and explain to him Daniel's recommendations. Building installers within guidelines will ensure any future unwanted setbacks.

All the best,
