1.You have to set the Template summary to X64;1033 in Installation Information ->General Information -> Summary information stream. Where 1033 is the language code. If you need more than one language then you give as X64;1033,1031 2. Set the destination for the components to [ProgramFiles64Folder] instead of [ProgramFilesFolder]. 3. If you have any 64 bit self registrable dll, then set the component property "64-bit component" to"Yes". 4.In script if you are using any registry related API, then add below two lines of code before and after calling the registry API in code respectively. //This will cause all subsequent registry operations to access the 64-bit section REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS | REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY; //added for 64 bit support REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS & ~REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY; //to revert to 32-bit. Hope this will help 🙂 --Mrunmayee ... View more

I am glad that your issue has been solved! What I suggested was to create two connections; the first one for connecting to the master database to run the script that will create and configure the the_internet_cafe database, and the second one for connecting to the the_internet_cafe database to run the rest of the script that will add items such as tables to the the_internet_cafe database. Since the the_internet_cafe database does not exist when you click the Next button on the SQLLogin dialog, and both connections use the same login credentials but target a different database, I added a control event so that only the first connection will be validated by the action.

If you wish to sign your build exe and dll files (and your installer) so that users downstream can easily verify you were the one who created them, you will need to purchase a certificate from a trusted authority, such as Verisign, Thawte, Comodo, or others (search for something like "purchase authenticode certificate" for more information). I think this is what you are asking. If you wish to leverage digital signatures programatically within your application and do not care what the global trust status of them is, you can create your own test certificates for free using tools like makecert.exe. The downside of this approach is nobody else is likely to trust data signed with test certificates, so I doubt this is what you are asking. ... View more

Do you have a minor upgrade/patch entry in the Upgrades or Patch Design view, and some dynamic file links? By setting up the previous-MSI-package entry as described in that warning message, InstallShield will attempt to ensure the File table, Media table, and Component table keys match up between the two packages; which in turn can make a big difference in the success of the minor upgrade, size of the patch file, and so on. ...
