Subject: [wix-users] ProgramFilesFolder is always Program Files (x86)

Hi,

I'm new to Wix and i try to make an installer for .net application targeting x64.
For my first steps, using 'Wix toolset vs2019 extensions' , i succeeded to create a msi file, but this msi always installs the app in the 'Program Files (x86)' directory.
I tried to set the x64 in the configuration manager of VS, in the properties of the setup project, but this always the x86 that remains selected.

Someone can help?

regards
