Hi,

I have to put our 32 and 64bit software setup together into one single setup. So I have two features "Software (x86)" and "Software(x64)". For each feature I ask by dialog for a target dir (TARGET_32 and TARGET_64). I am installing the files for the x86 software i.e. to "$TARGET_32$\test.exe" and for the x64 files to "$TARGET_64$\test.exe". For debugging I added messageballoons that show the content of TARGET_32 and TARGET_64 during the setup process.

The content of the variables is correct but x86 and x64 files are installed to $TARGET_32$ and I don't know why. Is the way I configured the setup best practise or how can I achieve a multiplatform setup?

thx in advance,

Sven

Dear Sven,

Are you using the Set 64 Bit Mode command at all?
Please take a look at this thread:

Thank you for your reply,

Yes. I am using it to pre set my $TARGET_32$ and $TARGET_64$ directories:

Code: Select all

Set Variable TARGET_32 to $PROGRAMFILES$APP_TITLE$
...
Set x64 - Native 64 bit Windows, AMD64 and EM64T Architectures - installation mode
Get Folder Location System->Program Files Directory into PROGRAMFILES
Set Variable TARGET_64 to $PROGRAMFILES$APP_TITLE$
Set Win32 - Native 32 bit Windows and Windows 32 on Windows 64 (WOW64) - installation mode

and during the installation:

Code: Select all

Get Component Test (64bit) Selection State into Variable SELECTED
  if Variable SELECTED Equals TRUE
    Set x64 - Native 64 bit Windows, AMD64 and EM64T Architectures - installation mode
    MessageBalloon: Installing component Test (64bit), Installing to: $TARGET_64$
    Install Files C:\tmp\src64\*.* to $TARGET_64$, include subfolders
...
  end
  Get Component Test (32bit) Selection State into Variable SELECTED
  if Variable SELECTED Equals TRUE
    Set Win32 - Native 32 bit Windows and Windows 32 on Windows 64 (WOW64) - installation mode
    MessageBalloon: Installing component Test (32bit), Installing to: $TARGET_32$
    Install Files C:\tmp\src32\*.* to $TARGET_32$, include subfolders
	...
  end

The Baloons tell me the correct paths but the installers copies the files to $TARGET_32$ and mixes the 32 and 64bit component. I really have no idea what I am missing.
