On 64-bit operating systems, Windows Installer installs and manages
applications consisting of 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Installer components
(ref <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372855.aspx> ). It doesn't
work the other way round of course.

If you want a 64-bit cmd shell to work then you need the x64 MSI installed.
If you always use a 32-bit cmd shell then it doesn't really matter.

OK... I've been installing the x86 version. If I'm running on the x64 OS
(Vista x64) should I be using the x64 version?

"running WiX on x64". It should have everything.
The root issue, IIRC, is the Windows Installer doesn't allow you to have a
dual-platform package. so you need two. <sigh/>

What's the difference between wix3_x64.msi and wix3.msi on the weekly
releases?
Is the x64 for targeting x64, running WiX on x64, or what?
Does it not include the x86 versions of CAs?
Just curious,
Kelly
