I'm actually in the process of converting my 32 bit installer to a 64 bit installer.I followed most of the steps provided like: >configure template summary prop->x64 >components> set 64 bit to 'Yes' >Disabling registry reflection for all components >make necessary changes from systemfolder>system64folder etc...
But when I start installation of .exe on 64 bit OS, I observe from the taskmanager, installation exe is running with *32 next to it. Which I think is a 32 bit exe running on 64 bit OS.
Also I see a couple of application related Registry entry created under HKLM\....\ wow6432node. When run as part of maintainence(reinstall/upgrade), I observed that the registryvalues read are from wow6432node.
Can someone let me know if there is something wrong/missing with my configurations, and why we hae *32 next to installation exe in taskmanager, also the reason for creation of entries under wow6432node.
