MSI doesn't support a single installer for multiple architectures. That's the problem. You'll never get a 32bit installer to validate with 64 bit components in it, period. MSI requires that you build a single installer for each architecture you target. You can use conditional statements and variable replacement in your .wxs file to have a single source file, but generate the two .msi files, but you must have the two. *shrug* Just how it is.
