When I have done this before, the msiexec on the machine installing the software has always handled the package correctly (placing items in syswow on x64 machines for files and registry as well as Program Files (x86)) on both machines. AFAIK you only need to specify x64 folders if your package specifically should not be installed on 32 bit machines, a standard package setup (for the 3 that I have made) has always worked correctly on both systems.
As always, test the results, but it should be as easy as reating one regular package and letting Windows handle the installer on x64 systems as it sees fit.

It shall correctly install on both, Windows 32 and Windows 64. Is it correct to do one setup that always installs into SystemFolder, or do we have to take any special care for the Windows 64 case?
