Bob, thanks for your reply. To make sure let me summarize:
Although my CLR loader, which is actually a C++ custom action for WiX, is 32-bit IT WILL be able to load the 64-bit CLR into the installer process and kick off .NET custom actions, which in turn may write files and registry keys without redirection, right?
