Packages can't be both x86 and x64. If you have any 64-bit

Can I simply use two packages -- one for 64bit and one for 32bit?
Would that solve the problem without having to use conditions in

Yes. And you can share your WiX authoring between them, using
preprocessor variables, for example, to set the

Are you installing only 32-bit dll's? Do you have any problems with file

I think my case is a little different since it is a .NET application and we

The answer to this may be obvious, but I can't seem to find any direction on
how to support multiple target OSes from the same package; say x86 and x64
(AMD64) versions.
My hunch is there is a simple answer but I've not been able to find a sample
project or How-To for this.

Hi Robert,
What I have done is just setup conditions on the platform specific
components to install or not dependent on the operating system.
