Inno Setup: Disabling components based on PC architecture

Question

I'm using Inno Setup with two components: one for 32-bit machines and one for 64-bit. These will run on XP/Vista/Win7.

[Components]
Name: Bin/32; Description: 32-bit; Types: full; Flags: dontinheritcheck
Name: Bin/64; Description: 64-bit; Types: full; Flags: dontinheritcheck

Currently:

• Both Components are ticked by default when running the installer.

What I want is:

• An appropriate default (i.e. either 32-bit or 64-bit ticked) depending on the user's machine.
• Greying out the inappropriate Component would be a bonus too.

What I've found so far is:

• That I probably want to use Pascal in the [Code] section.
• The IsWin64 function
• That I might want to use an Event for this, but I can't find anything related to my needs yet.

P.S. Unfortunately I'm not able to have separate installers per architecture.

Answer 1

you can check the C:\Program Files\Inno Setup 5\Examples folder for examples about how install a program for different architectures using a single installer.

check these files

• 64BitThreeArch.iss
• 64BitTwoArch.iss
• 64Bit.iss

you can use something like this

[Components]
Name: Bin_32; Description: 32-bit; Types: full; Check: IsX86; Flags: dontinheritcheck
Name: Bin_64; Description: 64-bit; Types: full; Check: IsX64; Flags: dontinheritcheck

[Code]
function IsX64: Boolean;
begin
  Result := Is64BitInstallMode and (ProcessorArchitecture = paX64);
end;

function IsX86: Boolean;
begin
  Result := (Is64BitInstallMode=false) and (ProcessorArchitecture = paX86);
end;
