Hello friends

I want my .net application working with any machine(32bit and 64 Bit). What should I do for it as I m using an installer which installs my application with sql express 2005 and other required dependencies. It works fine on 32 bit machine but setup get failed in 64 bit machine. So if any body could suggest solution for me and all others, it would be appreciable.

On another issue is with same application as when I install SQL Express 2005 on Windows Vista OS machine(32bit) manually it get installed fine but when I install it using My c# installer(installing all required setup using code in c#), It gets failed. Could any one solve my this problem.

With Thanks

When you compile your application under 32bit it will still be able to run on a 64bit machine. I think it would be best if you just create a custom installer and give the user a choice if he/she would like to install it as 32 or 64bit app.

Then all you need to do is compile you app for both 32 and 64 bit OS.
