MSBuild uses the AssemblySearchPaths property to determine the locations
where it searches for assembly references. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx
You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the
location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to
AssemblySearchPaths with something like this:
<PropertyGroup>
<AssemblySearchPaths>
C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin;
$(AssemblySearchPaths)
</AssemblySearchPaths>
</PropertyGroup>
Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if
they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you
use).
My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through
Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with
32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset
v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use
the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values
and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!
