Unfortunately all WIX binaries (candle, heat, etc) are only 32 bit (up to the latest version 3.11).
For performance reasons they are run as .NET assemblies inside the MSBuild process. Running 32 bit assemblies inside a 64 bit process (MSBuild) makes them segfault. Add a new option for heat to be run as an individual process when the platform is not x86.
