Hema;
Are you aware of this issue, for which there was discussionof addressing it in Wix 3.11
https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5307

Burn built-in SystemFolder and System64Folder properties ...<https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5307>
github.com
In WIX 3.10.2, the values of the Burn SystemFolder and System64Folder built-in properties are reversed when compared to similar properties in Windows Installer.

32-bit apps default to the 32-bit file system through redirection.
A FileSearch new feature could add a Win64=yes option, which would need to
call Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection around the search in 32-bit
bootstrappers. Other that you'd need to code something yourself.

Hi,
I have tried System64Folder as well. It also points to SysWOW64 Folder as
this is a 32 bit bootstrapper application.
Please find the log attached.
When I say SystemFolder, the log file points to System32, but the behaviour
is that if the file is in SysWOW64 folder then the condition passes
otherwise it fails. So it shows that it points to SysWOW64 Folder.
When I say System64Folder, the log file points to SysWOW64 and the condition
is satisfied only if the file is in SysWOW64 folder.
Conclusion is that SystemFolder, System64Folder and WindowsFolder all the 3
finally is redirected to SysWOW64 at run time.
Regards,
Hema.

SystemFolder is 32-bit. System64Folder is 64-bit.
