This reuqirement is not possible by default based upon the MSI concept. An Installer can be either an x86 or x64 one. X86 ones running on x64 always target the WOW-directories on x64 operating systems (like e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64). So I'd recommend to build a native x86 and a native x64 installer.
There might be some ugly coding possible to deploy to these folders with MSI (x64 CA copying files from one location to another) but I'd highly recommend you not to use this approach as this is not best practice and leads to other problems difficult to handle... 2010/9/2 David P.
