You can't install to the 64-bit system directory on x86 machines.
Hello,
I have a wyBuild project which adds two dll files to the System32 folders, one to the 32-bit folder and one to the 64-bit folder.
The updater runs perfectly fine under Win7 64-bit. However, under Win7 32-bit the updater fails. The files get downloaded and extracted, after that a message appears stating that the parameter 'path' is null. I've checked serveral machines, the error occurs on all machines running a 32-bit OS.
Is this a bug or did I do something wrong? To me it seems as if the updater does not check if it's run in a 64-bit environment and if the target folder exists.
RegardsTobias
You can't install to the 64-bit system directory on x86 machines.
Just to further clarify: You need to have a separate WyBuild project for the 32 bit version of your application, and a separate one for the 64 bit version.
If you have only have a 32 bit version of your app, don't bother with the 64 bit System folders - the app will update fine on 64 bit systems none the less.
