Hi,

I am creating setup & deployment project for installing my application &
driver for xp-32,64 & vista 32-64. By selecting Target platform as "x86", i
am installing the driver for all of the above OS using DPINST DiFX tool based
upon the versionNT value.

Problem: For 64 bit, i want to add my dll file in system32 folder,
i.eSystem(64-bit) Special folder. when i added this folder, i am getting
error that above folder is not compatible to 64 bit.
Yes, it is true, but any other way to install my dll file in above folder?
using inf file, is this can be done?

I also understand that, when my msi installer package installed in 64 bit
system, it will be copied in programfiles-32 bit folder instead
programfiles-64bit folder.

2) I went for above approach is that, a single installer for all OS & all
platforms, is there any other way that single installer can install multiple
platforms?

Thanks,
Kota

Hi,

I wanted to install 64bit DLL in System-64 folder for 64 bit system.
Since i choose the Target platform as x86, i couldnt add the system-64 bit
folder.

Any other way to install 64 bit dll in system-64 folder?

Thanks,
kota
