@ Pally: Without trying I'd say when building with summary information template = intel WiX also should build a package that ignores the Win64="yes" parameter and therefore search also the wowtree on a x64 system? Had the issue sometimes before and the only solution was a InstallScript InstallScript CA for handling that. (Was an InstallShield solution and not a WiX project)
