Yes, Manu, we create the VB assembly, so we can adopt Paul's corflags
suggestion. But it still leaves the problem that our installer has to be
smart enough to figure out that it's installing onto a 64-bit platform. It's
a bit more complicated than I would like.

I prefer your idea of building the Eiffel DLL with the 64-bit version of
EiffelStudio.

Why do you want the installer to be smart? I would suggest to do it a build
time, and then this assembly should work fine on all versions of the 32-bit
.NET runtime.

You need to bookmark the EiffelStudio project and then go to your
Home->settings and select to receive mail notification for the various
categories of the EiffelStudio project. I believe that forum falls into the
`Blog', `Comment' or `Wiki' category (I actually don't know because I'm
subscribed to all of them). I would also suggest to select `Release' as you
will get notified of a new release as soon as the files are uploaded to
Origo.

Regards,
Manu
