Jason,
I see this in my build output, and it does look like it is using
SfxCA.dll from the x64 directory:

It shouldn't matter if thare are some AnyCPU dependencies. MSI will run
the CA as 64bit if it detects it is a 64bit DLL. In the case of a
managed custom action, the significant thing is the unmanaged wrapper,
SfxCA.dll.
Can you check the MSBuild verbose log? Build the project from the
command-line with msbuild.exe /v:d /p:Platform=x64 yourca.csproj
See if it is actually using sdk\x64\SfxCA.dll, and if not, see if you
can find why not. Or send me the log and I'll take a look. For
reference, these are the lines from wix.ca.targets that switch based on
the platform.
<CreateProperty Value="$(WixSdkPath)x86\SfxCA.dll" Condition="
'$(SfxCADll)' == '' and '$(Platform)' != 'x64'">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="SfxCADll" />
</CreateProperty>
<CreateProperty Value="$(WixSdkPath)x64\SfxCA.dll" Condition="
'$(SfxCADll)' == '' and '$(Platform)' == 'x64'">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="SfxCADll" />
</CreateProperty>

Jason,
Yes, I added the x64 platform for that project, and compiled the custom
action project to that platform.
Does it matter that my custom action project has dependencies to other
projects that are compiled for any CPU? Those projects are not set to
compile from my solution when in x64 as the active configuration.

Did you add an x64 platform configuration to your managed CA project?
The MSBuild rules for managed custom actions should automatically
package the CA with the correct platform of SfxCA.dll based on the
project's platform configuration.

Subject: [WiX-users] 64 bit install with 64 bit managed custom action
Hi All,
I have an install that is set for a 64 bit machine (that is, the
platform is set to x64, the components are all marked as 64 bit etc.).
I also have a managed custom action dll written in c# which I compile to
target the 64 bit framework. However, when I execute the install, I see
msiexec *32 and rundll32.exe processes spun up during the execution of
my custom action. How do I stop that?
