I'm actually already using a <?if $(var.Platform)=x64?><?else?><?endif?>
around the package element to make the MSI 64 or 32 bit. However my files
are placed in ProgramFilesFolder\{my folder}. My issue is that
ProgramFilesFolder is resolving to the wrong place in x64. I assume I can
fix this if I use a <?if?> on each file element in each component and
specify the platform as x64 or x86 appropriately and map it to the *SAME*
binary file. I can do this because my binaries are platform agnostic.

I was hoping there was something easier however.

MSI requires that the installer be marked as 32-bit or 64-bit.    I just
made one WXS file that will work for both, then I set my target directory to
the correct place for that platform.
