I believe you need to create a 64-bit MSI for this. The 64-bit components would 
need to have the Win64 attribute set to "yes". Here is a snip from WIX help 
file...


Win64

YesNoType<mk:@MSITStore:C:\Docs\WiX.chm::/html/wix_xsd_simple_type_yesnotype.htm>

Set this attribute to 'yes' to mark this as a 64-bit component. This attribute 
facilitates the installation of packages that include both 32-bit and 64-bit 
components. If this bit is not set, the component is registered as a 32-bit 
component. If this is a 64-bit component replacing a 32-bit component, set this 
bit and assign a new GUID in the Guid attribute.









Hope this helps.



Thanks,

Nakul
