[wix-users] Need an option to perform Filesearch in System32 folder from 32 bit installer running on a 64 bit machine.

[Hemalatha.Nallusamy at microchip.com]

Hi,

For msi, I am able to write .NET custom action and use it under <Product> .
Similarly For Bootstrapper, is it possible to use .NET code under Bundle?

If so can you provide me some useful link to write managed code and use it in Bundle?

Thanks & Regards,
Hema.

Or you could look at the code instead of guessing: wix3\src\burn\engine\variable.cpp

There is no such option. As I said: "A FileSearch new feature could add a Win64=yes option" meaning that this would be a new feature. 

This of course assumes that the underlying issue is that the search from a 32-bit app always searches the 32-bit file system when the native 64-bit folder is being searched, which seems to be the case.
