How to deploy an Outlook plugin 32-bit or 64bit with one Deploy configuration

I have 2 sales force Outlook plugins files. 1 is for 32-bit outlook and the other is for 64-nit outlook. If I put them in the same deployment then both will try to get installed. Is there a way to distinguish what version the client has installed and install the correct version?

Yes. We call this "Conditions". It is a pro-mode feature available in PDQ Deploy 2.2.

To create a conditional, open the PDQ Deploy package and click on the step that is executing one of the files mentioned (32bit or 64bit). Select the appropriate O/S Version and Architecture selections from the drop down.

Repeat the steps for your other file.

Maybe I didn't explain. All of the OS are 64-bit OS. What is different is some have Office 2010 32-bit and some have Office 64-bit installed. I have a Sales Force plugin for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. I was hoping to create 1 deployment and have it distinguish between what version of OFFICE is installed and install the correct plugin version.

I would suggest to create a batch file with a check

if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\outlook.exe" (

install 32 bit

) else (

install 64 bit

)
