[wix-users] will wix 4 support ARM64 ?

[Bob Arnson]

WiX v3 never supported ARM64, just ARM. WiX v4 will require explicit work to support ARM64.

Will Wix 4 support Arm64 ?

Where can I get a newer darice.cub?  But Candle 3.11.2.4516 rejects Platform="Arm64" so I'm not sure a newer darice.cub will help.
Darice.cub isn't in the Win 10 SDK, although that has the MSI tools. The darice.cub included with wix 4.0.0.5205 gives the same problem.

thanks
