My current test machine is Windows 7 and it is 64-bit. I am running PowerShell v2 64-bit. I will ultimately be deploying the installer to a Windows 2008 R1 machine, also 64-bit. I think the installer is a 32-bit MSI as I did not specify the Platform attribute in the Package. Although, I am not certain.
