It all depends. The expansion will occur whenever the field is of type "formatted" and won't wherever it isn't. You may have to look to see which database column each field is stored into to see what the column data type is (to know what the possibilities are, see this page: http://msdn.microsoft.

You could have a bootstrapper that would contain both a baseline installation package and a patch package, if that is what you are talking about, but that bootstrapper isn't a Windows Installer "package", per se.

Not clear what you are doing here. Is your package 32-bit or 64-bit? A 64-bit package won't run at all on a 32-bit box, and a 32-bit package needs different flags to (reliably) access 64-bit areas of the registry on 64-bit machines. You haven’t given us enough information to reproduce what you a
