\"SymbolicAssume that you have 64 bit<\/strong> version of a program that you want to be run in 64 bit Windows and a 32 bit<\/strong> version of a the same program that you want to be run in 32 bit Windows only. How do you do that from Visual Installer<\/a>?<\/p>\n

That is easy. Use conditional script.<\/p>\n

Below we show how the script lines may look like:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Run only in 32 bit Windows<\/span>
\nIF<\/span> OSBIT=32
\n\u00a0 RUN<\/span> %DESTDIR<\/span>\\App32.exe
\nEND IF<\/span>
\n   <\/span>
\n\/\/ Run only in 64 bit Windows<\/span>
\nIF<\/span> OSBIT=64
\n\u00a0 RUN<\/span> %DESTDIR<\/SPAN>\\App64.exe<\/span>
\nEND IF<\/span><\/div>\n

   
\nYou can use the same method to run an external installation package with a specific bitness. For example a 32 bit installation package in 32 bit Windows only and a 64 bit installation package in 64 bit Windows only.<\/p>\n
