Works fine. The following 2 code samples illustrate it (Not working as
some overhead was removed. Do a diff to check where they are different

Then they are compiled using
:: x64 package
candle.exe" -out "setupX64.wixobj" "setupX64.wxs"
light.exe" -cc "%~dp0\" -reusecab -loc "English-US.wxl" -out
"setupX64.msi" "setupX64.wixobj"
:: x86 package
candle.exe" -out "setup.wixobj" "setup.wxs"
light.exe" -cc "%~dp0\" -reusecab -loc "English-US.wxl" -out
"setup.msi" "setup.wixobj"
which generates the corresponding cab files setup.cab, setupx86.cab
and setupx64.cab
