WiX installation projects don't "produce" any applications (except for
bundles). They just package them.
Could it be that the two installers are capturing two differing instances of
the application that happen to be tagged differently WRT bitness? Possibly the
path to the application is computed differently?
Never really heard of that happening. WiX installers don't alter their
payloads, so it isn't anything overt that can do that sort of thing.
