Defining the INSTALLDIR Property in a Mixed-
Platform Installation
The INSTALLDIR build property represents the main installation directory for the
application. By default, it is set to the first directory you create under the Program Files
folder on the Files page. A mixed platform project has two installation directories: one
under Program Files and another under Program Files (x86). However, the INSTALLDIR
property can have only one value. To see this, go to the Files page and view the
subdirectories of Program Files and Program Files (x86); only one will be designated as
the INSTALLDIR.
To define the second installation directory, add a custom action to set the default value
of INSTALLDIR based on the destination computer's platform. Place the custom action at
the beginning of the installation initialization. You only need a custom action for the
undefined installation directory.
Example: The installation directory is Program Files (x86)\QuickFacts. In MSI Script,
enter the following custom action:
If VersionNT64 then
Set Property INSTALLDIR to [ProgramFiles64Folder]\QuickFacts
End
If the destination computer's target platform is 64-bit, then the default installation
directory is Program Files\QuickFacts. If it is 32-bit, then the original installation
directory is used.
