Can anybody help me in finding solution so that installer works for both XP and Window 7 both. the installer is for 64bit machine

Set RegQry=HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0
 
REG.exe Query %RegQry% > checkOS.txt
 
Find /i "x86" < CheckOS.txt > StringCheck.txt

If %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
regasm -u "%~dp0\WordS-A-Text.dll"
          
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
regasm  "%~dp0\WordS-A-Text.dll"

)ELSE (

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Checked for what processor architecture that dll was built for? 32 bit or 64 bit?

There are a couple of things you need to look at:
1) Check the version of XP you are installing on: 32 or 64 bit - your DLL is 64 bit, so it can't install on a 32bit XP.
2) Check the version of .NET installed on XP - it doesn't come with any by default, and it is quite likely that it does not have V4.0 installed at all.
3) Don't hard code paths like that - use %WINDIR% as it is not required that Windows is installed in any particular folder, or that the boot drive is "C:"
