WiX + ARM64

[jakepetroules]

The WiX Package Platform attribute doesn't seem to support the "ARM64" value yet. As Windows 10 is coming to ARM64 soon, will there be a new value added for this?

Does the Window Installer support ARM64?

[barnson]

The Win10CU SDK hints that it will:

#define IPROPNAME_ARM64            TEXT("Arm64")

Handling the CAs is left as an exercise for the reader.

Microsoft just announced a ARM based Surface Pro.
May need to prioritize this.

Some information may be helpful

We are supporting ARM64 and have had to do some interesting hacking for ARM64 for our WIX based install package. Having an ARM64 native version would really help since we end up relying on the x86 (32-bit) emulation support on the ARM64 platform (which requires some post-editing to set it to an ARM64-bit install), which means we can not directly install ARM64 drivers but instead have to shell out to another ARM64 native process to complete setup.

ARM64 support is available in WiX v3.14.

Thanks @barnson. We wanted to do the below and will wix 3.14 supports both.

1. Ability to select platform type as Arm64 for our msi.
2. Have our custom action(that use wix libraries) to compile using Arm64 platform.

[barnson]

Yes.

Thanks @barnson, this is going to be very useful to us. Also, wanted to check when 3.14 would become production-ready, we would like to use it soon.
