Yes, that's the approach my team and I concluded to last night... to stop
having a 32-bit package for the 32-bit components and a 64-bit package for
the 64-bit components. Leave the 32-bit components in the 32-bit package,
but stop it installing on 64-bit and duplicate it's core elements in the
64-bit package for the 64-bit operating systems - thus acheiving both
variations of the software in one tidy package.

Although, for files that are used by both variations, do you use the
DuplicateFile table? I've not used that before and think it'll be more
efficient than including some elements twice. My main concern is that you'd
have to have the source component installed for the duplicates to exist, or
can you have either?

Cheers, G
