I'm writing an installer in NSIS, which is kind of a wrapper for another installer, created with NSIS. The inner installer is not mine. It's created with BioWare Installer 1.03 (NSIS 2.34).

I've read a lot on the subject of converting 32-bit to 64-bit. I use a lot of vendor hardware, and have finally obtained both 64-bit and 32-bit drivers for each. Moving from 32 to 64 seems like it will be an easy transition. The problem, however, is that we do not wish to "transition". We want to maintain both, side by side, without hav...
I'm really struggling with WiX. I have .NET assemblies to install that require registration for COM Interop, AND they must be registered with another framework that requires calling a Register() method in a .NET assembly that's in the GAC.
