Hi,

I have a small application (and a setup project associated with the application), that is using a specific custom dll.
The dll is specific for each platform, so I have a 32bit dll and a 64bit dll.

I want to create an installer for the 32bit and for the 64bit version. I know I can de-reference the dll from the main application, change the platform of the main applicatoin and of the setup application, and compile... but that takes some time

Is there a way to automate the build of both 32bit and 64bit versions of the setup ?

thanks

Create two setup projects?

Are the DLL's large? Just include both by default, and when the app runs, it checks which platform it is on, and calls the appropriate dll.
 
I tried adding both dll's as a reference, but when I try to add the second dll, it says that I have already loaded the dll

are they .net DLL's ? if so they would have conflicting classes/namespaces, assuming they are the same thing, just compiled for different platforms. Try adding a "32" or "64" to the end of the class names if thats the problem.
