What if we had 64-bit Burn that was affected by –arch switch?
Ultimately, I think I agree with you. Thus my point in #3 where I’m wondering
if there is a better name than “Win64”. Any thoughts on that?

Looks like there's only ApprovedExeForElevation and util:RegistrySearch in
Burn. These aren't going to be affected by the -arch switch, so it doesn't
make sense to me to have "force" or "always" in the name.

1. I don’t understand this comment in the WIP:
This attribute will not require the "-arch" switch to function properly.
The –arch switch is most definitely required. It’s handled by default in
MSBuild. It’s very, very important.
2. I’m also not thrilled with 'Always32Bit' name. I like “always” better than
“force” but “32Bit” feels funny. Bob can you bail us out here?
3. Searches in Burn *may* be different. *Maybe* even in MSI. I don’t remember
if 32-bit MSIs can do 64-bit searches. Anyone else remember? If searches are
different then maybe “Win64” attribute is bad name and we can come up with a
better name for searching hives (that may default to –arch).

I’d like to propose replacing the Win64 attribute with something more intuitive
in WiX v4.0.
Here is the WIP:

I appreciate feedback.
Thanks,
