x64 AND ia64 installation mode

[mikKummerfeld]

Hello Guys,

for one of our products we used an inno setup project since years.
Now we want to move this product to an IA setup.

In Inno setup we can use both ia64 and x64 installation modes:

How can I use BOTH in IA?
Inclide both commands line after line like this?

Dear Heiko,

unfortunately this is not possible and you cannot use those statements in that sequence. This due the fact that the latest one will replace any previous call of the same command.

By the way, I understand that may look practical to create a single package to handles different target platforms (x86/x64/xi64).
However when it's necessary to manage multiple and complex tasks, it can be sometimes problematic to correctly handle the different target platforms with a single hybrid installer.

if you look at the most popular setup distributions, in reality these are Always dedicated and separated setup packages for the different target platforms. To do the trick, it's a common practice to use a wrapper installer which embeds the different setups in a single package.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
