Also if these are shared COM components (installed by other products) it's
probably not a good idea to give the user a choice at install time. You want
them in a common location (but separated by bitness).

just put 32-bit components in the 32-bit file system.
Fortunately in this case that is an option. Are there any
recommendations on exactly where these components should go?
We give the user a choice of install location for our 64-bit
components, which defaults to Program Files\Product Name.

This should work as long as your installation is running on a x64 Windows.

We're currently building an MSI targeting the x64 platform. Most of
our binaries are 64-bit, so we have placed each one into a 64-bit
component under the ProgramFiles64Folder directory. However, we also
need to install a 32-bit COM in-process server DLL. We're having
issues because we'd ideally
My advice would be to use the 32 bit install location, but if you really want
to put it in the 64 bit location, you can author two components, one for the
server and one for the class associated with the server. The server can be
marked as 64 bit. The class component marked as x86. Mark the
