merge module holder object for 64bit merge modules
Hi:
I have two InstallScript projects, one is called 32bitMerge and the other one is called 64bitMerge.
In the 32bitMerge project, there is only one feature which has one component: a merge module holder object, which includes a few 32 bit merge modules from an 3rd party vendor.
In the 64bitMerge project, there is again only one feature which has one component:a merge module holder object, which includes the 64bit version of the same merge modules as the ones in project 32bitMerge.
The setup.exe generated from the 32bitMerge project works fine in a 32 bit OS.
However, the setup.exe generated from the 64bitMerge project does not work in the 64bit OS.
I know the 64bit merge modules are good since if I add them to a Basic MSI project, they work properly.
Could anyone please tell me why I cannot add 64bit merge modules to the InstallScript project?
Thank you very much,

The merge module holder object only supports 32-bit installs. I would suggest creating a 64-bit msi that consumes the merge module, and installing/uninstalling that with calls to LaunchApplication.
