I believe this ends up in the MsiAssemblyName table together with some
other assembly name attributes. If you get it wrong the usual symptom is
that the assembly won't be uninstalled from the GAC. Assuming this is
for the MsiAssemblyName table, IMO WiX should be getting this value for
you automatically rather than having you specify it.

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.
