When I compile a wix project, and wix launch the compilation via MSbuild of all the existing projects, can I use "Any CPU" instead of "X86" or "64 bit" ?
If not, how can I compile the projects using "Any CPU" ?

Step1: Go to solution Properties
Step2: Configuration properties --> Configuration
Step3: Check the build option for WIX project.
If your question is whether you can compile WIXPROJ for
Any CPU
then the answer is no.The
TargetPlatform
setting in your WIXPROJ defines the way Windows Installer treats folder variables, registries and GAC etc. For example, the setup project will use the[ProgramFiles64Folder]
variable if theTargetPlatform
of the setup project is x64; and[ProgramFilesFolder]
for x86.Check this answer, it will be helpful: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Any-CPU-platform-in-wix-3-0-td3441097.html
