Thanks, pretty much what I already guessed, I was just hoping that it was a bug as apparently (I didn't test it) it works fine for registry permissions.
I have pushed it back to the developer who qrote the code that needs the dodgy permission, hopefully they can design it out.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting Permissions on a 64 bit system folder froma 32 bit msi. Hi I recently had to do something similar, and ended up with 2 msi's. 1 for x64 and 1 for x86. I then wrote a small NSIS installer, that calls them and installs them in sequence. Until burn is out, you have to ship 2 msis.
