Marco, What you have done sounds okay. We use a vbscript to call heat for ANYCPU targets. What it does is extract the 32 bit information into one wxs file, then copies that file for the 64 bit msi, stripping out the common registration information and the file delivery information, leaving only the registry keys which would be created in the 64 bit registry hive. We did it this way because the 64 bit install is optional on top of the 32 bit, meaning the 64 bit could be installed, then removed and the product would have to still work; so I have to remove any common registry keys to prevent the clash.
