But the programmers of MSI haven' thought at the international Windows versions..<br /><br />The international (link) paths of "c:\Program Files" are not redirected. E.g. if you do not use [ProgramFiles] directly, but create a [MyDir] property or so, you can directly write to the German named directory "c:\Programme" on a Windows 7 (with a German language setting (lang. pack). Of course, this directory is the same as "c:\Program Files" because it is mapped.<br />BTW: The people who "invented" this redirection made the install world unnecessarily double complicated. Wrong architecture this 64/32 separation. Without that redirection everything would work fine to make one MSI for 64 and 32 bit ! With my this special behaviour you have one idea how to circumvent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452818.post-18440192555140427572012-07-14T08:24:35.286-07:002012-07-14T08:24:35.286-07:00Yes, this is really helpfull to understand the bas...Yes, this is really helpfull to understand the basic challanges during migrating a package from 32 to 64-bit system..
