The Component element contains an unhandled extension element ‘Fire:FirewallException’. Please ensure that the extension for elements in the ‘http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/FirewallExtension’ namespace has been provided.
my namespace is:

but no joy.. any tips?

Scrub that Bob, got it working I discovered by pure luck I think
that you have to add a reference to the wix FirewallExtension.dll inside the wix project. works sweet now.

I’m having trouble compiling a 64-bit version of an installer. The problem, I think, is that I use a custom action DLL. Are WiX libraries available for 64-bit custom action DLLs.
Thanks,
Kevin.

MSI supports 32-bit CA DLLs in an x64 installer. If you need 64-bit CA DLLs, the libraries are available in x64 variants, like dutil_x64.lib.
