I am using InstallShield 11 and creating a basic MSI project for a 64 Bit machine.
When I run my setup on a 32 Bit machine, the Windows installer shows a message that
This installation package is not supported by the processor
Now the problem is that I want the InstallShield setup to show another message instead:
64bit processor required!
You could mark your install as a 32-bit install rather than a 64-bit install. (Set “Template Summary” to Intel;1033 rather than AMD64;1033.)
Then, create a Custom Action, conditioned on “Not VersionNT64”, which pops up your message “64bit processor required!” and then exits.
This way, your install will still run on 32-bit systems, thus giving you the chance to detect 32-bit/64-bit and take appropriate action.
