Archive: deploying 64-bit applications using 32-bit installers


deploying 64-bit applications using 32-bit installers
Hi guys -

I have two binaries one for 64-bit and one for 32-bit OS that I need to deploy with the same installer. I give the user the option to chose the install directory and I was thinking to deploy the 64-bit application under C:\Program Files\MyCompany while the 32-bit goes to C:\Program Files(x86)\MyCompany if the user keeps the default install directory.

Does this make sense? What is the best way of deploying 64-bit applications using 32-bit installers?

$PROGRAMFILES will be set to one or the other. Just use that in your InstallDir.
