How to fix target warning "silabenm.sys' targeting 'x64' is not compatible with the project's target platform 'x86'"
I have a 32 bit application that needs 64 bit drivers is installed on a 64 bit machine. I have a setup that uses conditions to install the correct drivers, should I ingnore this warning or is there a way to fix this?

I don't know exactly how you're installing the 64-bit driverswith a 32-bit setup, but I'mnot sure it will work, and that's related to the warnings. For example, a any registry entries created by your 32-bit setup (Registrey view in the IDE) will be in the 32-bit part of the registry, not the 64-bit part. Any code you run will run as 32-bit.
You should really be using two separate setups, one for each architecture, unless you're convinced you can make the 32-bit setup create the 64-bit drivers properly.
