64bit MSI Creation in WPS 7.0
Packagers,
I am currently learning to create msi's having used Wise Scripting for 10 years. I have dug into all the current postings, but I really have not seen answers to my questions.
I am currently working on a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise x64Edition. The Processors are 3GH Xeon with 2GB RaM
When I go to run the .msi file,, I get the following error
"The installation package is not supported by this processor type"
Under Setup Editor / Tables Tab / Summary /
Template Summary Feild I have a value of Intel64;1033
Mininum Installer Version - I have tried 2.00 & 3.01
When I type that and look at Installation Expert / Product Definition Tab / Product Details / Target Platform reflects Intel 64-bit.
Does anyone have any Idea's what I am missing?
Thanks for your input!

Wrong processor type
Intel64 is only set for Itanium processors, and you are using Xeons.
I would try setting x64 in place of Intel64
The help file MSI.CHM installed with your Wise product can be searched for more information, as can google.

Tried that but
When I went to the Setup Editor / Sumary Table / Template Summary had the value of x64;1033
When I switch over to Installation Expert / Project Definition Box / Product Details and then on the right side of the screen under Target Platform it will say unknown.
If that was correct, since I am able to run the msi now, but my system search comes up empty of a raw vlaue from a 64bit registry area, The System search I am doing of a 32bit area comes back with a know value.
Working with 64bit is very frustrating!
I'm assuming you started out
I'm assuming you started out with a 64 bit project.
Can you give us an indication of which key value fails in 64 bit system search and which key value works in 32 bit search.

Thank You for the reply,
Thank You for the reply, I might be missing out right there with the fact by default I do not have a 64bit Project, I do not have the 64bit template I only have the Server template. I have been searching for one this morning, and I see people referencing one. Is there a standard template I am missing?
It's not a template
When you start a new project, you should see a drop down box that determines whether your project will be 32 bit or 64 bit.
