Here is how we prevent x64 installs on x32 on non-IA hardware and vice
versa. Our build process sets the "arch" variable based on the type of
MSI being built.
<Condition Message="Cannot install on non-Intel hardware.">
<![CDATA[Intel]]>
</Condition>
<Condition Message="Cannot install on IA64 hardware.">
<![CDATA[NOT Intel64]]>
</Condition>
<?if $(var.arch) = "x86" ?>
<Condition Message="Cannot install x86 package on x64 hardware.">
<![CDATA[NOT Msix64]]>
</Condition>
<?elseif $(var.arch) = "x64" ?>
<Condition Message="Cannot install x64 package on non-x64
hardware.">
<![CDATA[Msix64]]>
</Condition>
