x86 value added on editbox value

Hi,

I have an edit box on one of my custom dialog, the intention of this editbox is for the user to supply the path of SQL reporting server folder. during installation I supply this value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.SQL2012\Reporting Services" for this editbox but im seeing on my log that the value of the editbox was changed into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.SQL2012\Reporting Services". and this makes my custom action (calling c# console app) to return an error. invalid path. "(x86)" <-- this is the problem.and i'm wondering how can i avoid this " (x86)" value on the path. my OS is 64bit fyi.

thanks
Daniel

Re: x86 value added on editbox value

Hello,

I'm not sure why this happens. In order to have a clear view of your installation scenario can you please send us the .AIP (project file) and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Also, can you please give us a detailed step by step test case which you are using when the related behavior replicates.

All the best,
Daniel
