Deploy 32 and 64bit software

I am currently using the latest trial Pro version of PDQ, and I need to be able to push out 3 files (vstor40_x86.msi, vstor40_x64.msi and o2007pia.msi).

Is there a way for me to be able to create a package for all 3 and have it install the right version (x86 or x64) on the system, or do I have to do something else to have it discover what OS it is talking to.

It doesn't matter which of these is installed first, but I need to make sure it installs the x86 on windows XP machines and x64 on Windows 7 machines.

Any help would be great

You can use a batch like this:

msiexec.exe /i vstor40_x86.msi /qn
IF EXIST %ProgramW6432% (msiexec.exe /i vstor40_x64.msi /qn)
msiexec.exe /i o2007pia.msi /qn

Thank you for that. I will give that a shot.

A side question: Is there a way to do this in the Pro version? Does it have this capability that if I create a package and have the 3 bits of software there, that the system is smart enough to know to check prior to deployment, instead of using a batch? Just curious. That would be a nice feature considering how the X86 and X64 is going.

AFAIK Not yet, but it will be implemented.

This functionality will be in the next release, it's currently undergoing alpha testing.

This has been implemented for a long time. You can deploy installers dependat of the platform.
