How to: Authoring a 64-bit ClickOnce Bootstrapper package in Visual Studio 2008 SP1

 

Before going into further details first “ Disclaimer : This is just to help and does not guaranty that this is approved my employer or me J”

 

Location of SQL Compact Bootstrapper

        <BootstrapperDir> \Packages\SQL Server Compact Edition\ <LocaleCultureDir> \

Where,

· <BootstrapperDir> can be found by reading [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\3.5]path value otherwise its default value is %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ .

· <LocaleCultureDir> is culture specific dir, ex: EN, DE, zh-CHS, zh-CHT, …

 

 

Follow the below steps, If you have an ‘Any CPU’ ClickOnce application using SQL Compact 3.5 SP1, for which you want to install SQL Compact x64 MSI on 64-bit machine.

Note: It is required to install both x86 and x64 MSIs on 64-bit OS, since x86 MSI is pre-requirement for x64 MSI.

 

Steps:

1) Download the SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 x64 MSI and place it under <BootstrapperDir>\Packages\SQL Server Compact Edition\<LocaleCultureDir>\

2) ClickOnce setup.exe is always runs as WoW process on x64 OS, that’s why reading a registry key is not useful for x64 MSI. We can achieve the install check using <MsiProductCheck> element.

Edit the <BootstrapperDir>\Packages\SQL Server Compact Edition\<LocaleCultureDir>\Package.xml file with following details

· As part of <InstallChecks> element add <MsiProductCheck> as below

<InstallChecks>

    ---

<MsiProductCheck Property="SQLCompactRunTimex64Installed" Product=" [ProductCode] " />

    ---

</InstallChecks>

 

[ProductCode] is the Product Code/GUID of the x64 MSI. Depending on locale, get it from below table for 3.5 SP1 x64 release.

You can use Orca.exe to get the ProductCode property of a MSI.
