Setup.exe as 64 bit application.
Hi ,
I am developing a InstallScript MSI project for a Windows 64 bit application using Installshield 2010. For all my components I have set the "64 Bit component" property as true.
I have also set the "template summary" as x64;1033. Moreover I have set the schema of my release as 200.
When I run setup.exe for this project it runs as a 32 bit application.
Can some one please let me know what I am missing to make it a 64 bit setup.exe ?
Is it possible to have setup.exe as 64 bit application using InstallShield 2010?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Jai Krishnani

As far as I know, Installshield setup.exe is 32-bit only. There are no other choices.

Ok, actually I am trying to load my custom 64 bit dll to perform some actions. If I try to usedll my 64 bit complied dll it fails with error messages. And probably its because a 32 bit application can not load a 64 bit dll.
Can some one please let me know how can I achieve this?
FYI - Loading 32 bit dll works fine.

We do not have support for a 64-bit UseDLL at this time (neither in IS2010 nor IS2011). In your case, since you are using the Windows Installer engine as well, I would suggest creating a 64-bit MSI DLL and host it as a custom action. You should be able to communicate with it via MSI properties.
