64 bit runtimes...

The runtimes that I add in the runtimes section, are those ALL 32 bit runtimes?

If so, can you guys please add a "runtimes x64" under runtimes so that we know it is for 32 bit only?

I need to know because I need to install the Visual C++ runtimes for 64 bit on 64 bit machines and the 32 bit ones on 32 bit machines.

All 32 bit. We do not ship 64 bit runtimes as that would make the InstallAware download size easily exceed 1GB - a prohibitively large package.

You can make your own 64 bit runtimes easily, or just call the native Microsoft installers for them using just Run Program!.

Thanks for the response Michael!

I don't mind making 64 bit runtime calls.

I would like to make the suggestion of adding a Runtimes x64 section though in the next version, so that people like me who are going to roll out a bunch of 64 bit runtimes can see them in an organized place.

Nevertheless, thanks for the quick reply!
