I've seen this when it's not an installer issue, it's because the .NET binaries are AnyCpu and consequently run as native 64-bit and can't load 32-bit dependent Dlls. When this happens during the install custom actions fail etc.
You didn't see any kind of error message when the install failed? Anyway, installing with a command line to produce a log might help.

When I run the installer on a 32-bit machine everything works fine. When I run the installer on a 64-bit it prematurely ends due to some unspecified error. I need the application to be a purely x86 application. The app is written in C# and WPF and so should run fine as 64-bit. However, several dll dependencies are 32-bit. What sort of flags or settings do I need to use to get the installer to work properly in a 64-bit environment, but install the application as purely x86? Are there some sort of logs that are created when the installer fails that will let me know why it is prematurely ending?
