Tutorial or Guide available for checking 64-bit office?

[varunchaddha]

Is there any Tutorial or Guide available which I can check to create a "single" Installer which will install my Outlook addin to correct Registry node based on 32-Bit Outlook or 64-bit outlook detected on Client PC?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no tutorial for this, but I can guide you through the steps required.

First you need to create your add-in setup package using the our Office add-in wizard, which I assume you already did. This will create one of the registry hives that you need in Registry page.

Now, the trick is to create another identical registry hive, but as we explain in the linked article. What you need to add is two searches for your Outlook version, as it is possible to have Outlook 32 bit on 64 bit machine. So you need to append these searches to the install conditions mentioned in the article.

cool. Thanks for reply. But for now considering I don't need to support office 64 installer due to the urgency of installer need.

Though I got an issue with Registry now, since I made the Advanced Installer setup project to be "per-machine" installer from "per-user" ... I got serious issue with it, as it "did not" uninstalled previous office addon and it created installed new addon and I can see 2 Setup Uninstaller in Add or remove programs list ... can you tell me why it would behave like this? ...

This is normal behavior. Windows Installer does not remove any older versions of the package if their install types are different. I'm afraid the old version
must be removed manually in this situation.
