WiX Heat.exe Win64 Components - Win64=“yes”

Question

I\'m building an installer at the moment that targets just 64bit machines. Part of the process involves running Heat.exe to produce a Fragment ele

Answer 1

Here would be the XSLT-file. Save it as e.g. HeatTransform.xslt:

  

  
    
      
      
      
      
    
  

  
  

    
      
        
        yes

        
        
    

  

  
    
      
    
  

Then, in your heat-commandline add the parameter -t \HeatTransform.xslt. This will add the Win64-attribute to every component. Additionally I have Platform='x64'-attribute in my WiX source file(s) and add the -arch x64-parameter to the invocation of candle, as you already described in your question.
