Hi,
You could introduce a variable to set the target platform from the commandline
and then use that variable $(var.MyVar) anywhere in the WiX code as a condition
for specific-target components. But it won't work automatically, it can't get
the target platform of a binary automatically.

Just FYI:
1. We keep builds until we run out of space. Then we clean them up. The
timing was a bit unfortunate since a few bugs snuck into the build that was
left on the server.
2. I think those bugs will be fixed in the next build.
We very much appreciate those of you on the cutting edge helpin
