WIX installer, include different merge modules depending on platform

791 views Asked by At

I'm writing an an application with a WIX installer. The application is requires a driver (which I also wrote), and this is installed via a merge module included in the main WIX installer project.

Different platforms require a different driver variant, and as far as I can tell, they require a different installer package, as I can't include diffxapp_x64 and diffxapp_x86 in the same installer.

So, I've got one main installer, and three merge modules (for x86, x64 and ia64). Can I use the target platform setting to conditionally include the correct merge module variant in the main installer project, spitting out three packages?

Thanks

Tom

Use WiX preprocessor.

When you launch build of your installer, set a WiX preprocessor variable and select different merge modules depending on the value of the variable using conditional statements.
