InstallAware Express: 32 bit and 64 bit installer Combined

How do I set up InstallAware Express 18 to generate a single installer that will install our application (which can run either 32 or 64 bit) on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. Specifically, I am looking to have it installed in Program Files on both systems (not Program Files (x86) on 64-bit systems). Thanks for your help.

Dear User,

I believe that the "Win64 setup" InstallAware project template does exactly that.
isn't it?

Regards

I'm not sure. I am using an installer project that was created long ago. I'll look at the Win 64 template and see what I can find out. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just heard from the vendor that, despite what their web site says, you cannot create a Hybrid installer with InstallAware Express. I thought I'd include that here in case someone else has this question.

No. I abandoned the project because the cost of upgrading to a version of IA that would support building a hybrid installer was too high. I also uninstalled the upgrade I purchased to get this capability and my money was refunded.
