Calling GetBinaryType from Kernel32.dll

[Tradix]

Hello,

In my setup the user selects a directory and then the code checks whether a defined .exe is of type 32 or 64 bit. Depending on that result I install different files.

I figured out that I can use a function from Kernel32.dll and so I wrote a small c# program that saves the result in a text file which I then read in the setup. The problem is that I would need to install this little program right at the start when the user submits the path through the dialog screen. How can I do this as all the files are installed together after all the dialogs are submitted while I would need my exe during the dialog steps?

Is there anyway a better approach? I looked briefly at the SDK but this seems to be even more complicated or at least I haven't seen a suitable example.

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern int GetBinaryType(string lpAppName, ref BinaryType lpBinaryType);

Any help is highly appreciated.

Check the docs for Primer files. You need to add the utility there, so you can run it when the setup starts. User Guide, Chapter 2.
