Hello everyone,
I want to install both the x64 and the x86 version of an executable on the
harddisk, no matter if the machine is x86 or x64. But I only want to create
one start menu shortcut for the app, the one that is appropriate for the
target OS where the msi gets installed. How Do I go about that? I tried this
for the component, so the start menu entry for the x86 should not appear on
x86, but unfortunately it appears anyway:
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id='PnPMonComp' Guid='???????????'>
<File Id='PnPMonEXE' Name='PnPMon.exe' LongName='PnPMon.exe'
DiskId='1'
Source='PnPMon.exe' Vital='yes'>
<Shortcut Id="startmenuPnPMon" Directory="ProgramMenuDir"
Name="PnPMon"
LongName="PnPMon" WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR'
Icon="PnPMon.exe" IconIndex="0">
<Condition Level="0">NOT VersionNT64</Condition>
</Shortcut>
</File>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
How can I create a start menu shortcut conditionally?
Any help appreciated,
--

Our dll's are strongly typed (I think that's what its called). So we
can't have dll's of different versions talking to each other. What is
the best way to apply a hotfix for when you only need to replace a
couple files. We can rebuild the new dll's to be the same version as
the old ones, but how do you get those to be updated?

If the version info is the only change, MSI delta patches will be tiny so there's little overhead in including all of them. You definitely don't want to lie about file versions -- MSI relies on it to be accurate. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |

The Level attribute is used only for Feature parent elements and the code you posted should throw an error in recent releases of WiX (both v2 and v3). Check your .msi package to see that the condition is in the Component table. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |

If so, check a verbose log, both around InstallValidate to see what MSI is selecting for component state and in the install script to see the op-codes for shortcut creation. Note that a 32-bit MSI can't install 64-bit components so you'll need separate MSI packages anyway. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |

There isn't really a good way to do this. It's not a Wix thing, it's the
fact that a shortcut is part of a component, so when a component gets
installed the shortcut gets installed, just like everything else in the
component does.=20
