Wix 32 and 64 Bit Components within one 32 Bit MSI

I tried for several hours to create an 32-bit installer which integrated 32 Bit and 64 Bit Versions of an exe File. But it seems like the 64-Bit exe is never integrated into the installer.

It should be possible to integrate both versions within one installer or not? If both use the same paths and everything. I only want that based on a condition the 32-Bit or the 64-Bit Version is installed.

The wix file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

…

<Product Id="0E69C1BC-D9CD-4886-83D6-6240AEDC4D4F" Name="!(loc.ApplicationName)" Language="!(loc.Language)" Version="$(var.VersionNumber)" Manufacturer="!(loc.ManufacturerFullName)" UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
   …

  <Property Id="OFFICEVERSION">
    <RegistrySearch Id="OfficeVersion"
                    Root="HKCR"
                    Key="Outlook.Application\CurVer"
                  Type="raw" />
  </Property>

<Property Id="Office64" Value="no"/>

…


<Fragment>
    <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">

…

      <!-- 32-Bit -->
      <Component Id="ml.32" Guid="{8739FAD5-28ED-4F19-B25A-8CC05BA87174}"  >
        <File Source="$(var.ProjectDir)..\build\x86\ml.exe" Id="mlExe" KeyPath="yes"/>
         <Condition><![CDATA[NOT Office64]]></Condition>
      </Component>

      <!-- 64-Bit -->
      <Component Id="ml.64" Guid="{8B6345EE-689D-4E13-882D-CF5B4F97252A}" >
        <File Source="$(var.ProjectDir)..\build\x64\ml.exe" Id="mlExe64" KeyPath="yes" />
       <Condition><![CDATA[Office64]]></Condition>
      </Component>

      …

    </ComponentGroup>
</Fragment>

Anbody has an idea on that ?

Funny, I would expect this to install the second component. (The value no is evaluated as true, as it is not empty.) Are you certain you're identifying the files correctly, and that the verbose log agrees? - Michael Urman
The Office64 Variable is set by some custom action - mafis
Properties with any lower case letters are considered private, and their values are not shared from the UI sequence to Execute sequence. - Michael Urman
