Do you also know how the ProcessorArchitecture attribute of the file
element is actually used during deployment.

*       I have seen that you can mark a Component as 64 bit (i.e.
Win64='yes'). However I am not 100% clear on whether this is neccessary
for .Net Assemblies as they are effectively only copied to my deployment
directory. 


If a component is marked as 32-bit, MSI won't put it into 64-bit
portions of the file system or registry. 



*       I have also seen posts that state that 32-Bit and 64-Bit
components should be deployed to different directories (I have 2
assemblies that need to be 32-Bit and several thousand that should run
as 64-Bit!). Is this a neccessity or just good practice, and what is the
reason for it. 


That's more of a Windows thing, keeping 32-bit and 64-bit portions of
the system separate.
