From: kota on 7 May 2008 09:31 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
