I have an x86 based installer that is installing x86 binaries on x86 machines. 
I'd like to now modify the installer so that it can install 64 bit versions of 
the same binaries on x64 machines. The installer, which I inherited from 
somebody, uses utilities from wcautil.lib. I see that the wcautil lib file that 
comes with wix is for x86 binaries. If I want to build an x64 version of my 
installer utility, it would seem that I need the x64 version of wcautil.lib. 
Does that exist?

Another solution I can think of is to never build an x64 installer utility and 
only build the x86 utility dll. That would need to be loaded by the x86 msi 
process though wouldn't it? If I have an msi package and I run it on an x64 
machine doesn't the x64 msiexec load it and thus I'd have a binary 
incompatibility between msiexec and my x86 utility dll? Just trying to figure 
out how to resolve that problem.

Thanks,
Mike
