Only 32 bit MSI packages can be installed on both x86 and x64 machines. However, a 32 bit MSI package cannot write in 64-bit locations on a x64 machine, like "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Windows\system32". It will always be redirected to "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". Do you need the 64-bit files to be installed in the 64-bit locations?
