Targeting 64-Bit Operating Systems with Suite/Advanced UI and Advanced UI Installations
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Advanced UI |
| • | Suite/Advanced UI |
Edition:The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
Note:By default, the Suite/Advanced UI and Advanced UI installations are 32-bit. If required, you can change 64-Bit Setup Launcher setting under release configuration for 64-bit installation. For 64-Bit Setup Launcher, see Building 64-bit Setup Exe.
Suite/Advanced UI and Advanced UI installations enable you to reference either 32-bit or 64-bit locations, and they can launch 32-bit or 64-bit installations, depending on the target system.
For example, if you include in your Suite/Advanced UI project one installation that should target 32-bit systems, and another installation that should target 64-bit systems, you could create an eligibility condition in the Packages view for both of these packages; for the 32-bit package, the eligibility condition would contain a platform condition that checks for the x86 architecture, and for the 64-bit package the eligibility condition would contain a platform condition that checks for the x64 or IA64 architecture. For more information, see Types of Condition Checks in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
