32/64 -bit Hybrid installations.

[mikedoris]

Hi,
We are currently evaluating SetupBuilder. Our 'package' needs to deploy 32 and 64-bit binaries.

I've changed the installer type to "Windows 32/64-bit Hybrid' but I can't figure out how to target the two "Program Files" directories (typically "C:\Program Files (x86)" and "C:\Program Files").

I can right click on a feature in the files and folders pane and select add CSIDL. I don't get the option to add CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILESX86 which microsoft define here :

Could somebody suggest a method.

Many thanks,

Mike Doris

Mike,

Good question. I have to check this with our development...

Mike,

I have attached a "quick and dirty" 3264BIT.sb6 demo project. The "hybrid" installer runs in 64-bit mode on x64 machines. It installs Image1.bmp into the (32-bit) c:\program files(x86) and Image2.bmp into the (64-bit) c:\program files folder

See script lines 35-39 and 72+

Does this help?

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your quick response. I think that will probably do the trick but I'm unable to test the project as I get the following compilation error. I'm evaluating the professional version which I downloaded from here ->

I'm I unable to evaluate installations targetting 64-bit windows.

Many thanks,

Mike,

You are using the Professional Edition. Please download and install the Developer Edition flagship ;) The Professional Edition does not support 64-bit installations.
