Newbie MSI Question

jhungerford8887

Just curious if anyone else has had same thought or got one to work.  I was wondering if it was possible to merge a 32 bit MSI and 64 bit MSI into 1 MSI and have a script determine which one gets installed.  I was trying to find ways to not have so many packages separated between 32 and 64 bit.  Has anyone tried anything like this with Patch Manager?

    Create a tiny executable (create a batch file per the following pseudocode and convert to .exe using tools like battoexe, etc)

    IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == "AMD64" THEN

    Install 64-bit version

    ELSE

    install 32-bit version

    Attach both MSI files as additional files and use the .exe created above as your source package

    This will work but you will not get accurate reports of successful or failed updates since the script should always have a return code of 0. Managing multiple architecture packages really isn't a large hassle and having accurate reporting data is far more valuable than only having to approve one package versus two.
