It's not normally necessary to specify that registry keys should get
created explicitly in Wow6432Node; instead, use a 32-bit component
(@Win64="no") and use HKCR as the Root. MSI writes HKCR keys to the
right place, based on the component's bitness.
And you can use a preprocessor variable for the Win64 attribute value,
so you can use the same authoring in both packages.
