As far as I've been able to explore, you can't write to x64 areas of the
registry in an x86 MSI. You can however read from them using RegistrySearch's
with Win64="yes" (although this causes ICE80 warnings).
Thomas to do what you want to do you'll need 2 MSI's, one for x86 platforms &
one for x64 platforms, there is no other way to do this in Windows Installer.
x64 packages can only be installed on x64 platforms but to stop people
installing the x86 one on x64 platforms you'll need to add a LaunchCondition
("NOT VersionNT64 OR Installed" should work fine).
If you want to provide a single package for installation you can package them
together using a bootstrapper which launches the correct one for the relevant
platform (dotnetinstaller does this easily http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com/
but there are plenty of other bootstrappers available).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install x64-DLL
I've had a look but can't find it. The only other other option that would work
I think is to use selfreg or create custom actions to call regsvr32, but they
have their own fair share of problems.
