Q: 

Building a winform app in VS for windows 7 x64 - get an error on install

I have a winform application that i desiged in VS2005 that works fine in windows 7 x86 however when i try to install it on x64 I get the error:

"You have to run the 64-bit version of DPinst.exe on this machine. Contact the vendor that provided you this package. "

In VS I have the build set to 'Any CPU' which should handle 64bit. I cant seem to find much on that error online, any ideas? Is it something i need to change in VS before the build?

this seems pretty complex, is there no simple settings I can do in visual studio to make this work? My solution is set up as my winform project and a Setup (deployment) project. CAn i alter properties in the deployment project to handle this?

Not that I know of. I've never seen the error myself, I just looked around and that was the only applicable information I found.
