Glad it works for you. To explain the logic, it's adding a clause to each condition so that it will resolve to true if you're on the *other* architecture. So:
Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) OR (NOT VersionNT64) This is the x64 search, and resolves to true under the following conditions: * Installed - The product (your MSI) is already installed * OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH > "0" AND VersionNT64) - SQLSYNCX64SEARCH is set to a value greater than 0, and the architecture is x64 (VersionNT64 is set) * OR (NOT VersionNT64) - the architecture is x64 (in which case VersionNT64 would resolve to nothing) The other check works in a similar way, just with the other search, and reversing the VersionNT64 checks.
