WiX differences on 64-bit?

What are all the things we should take care of while writing a WiX installer for 64-bit software?

What if I want to support both 32- and 64-bit versions?

I want to release one version of the installer, that will be possible to install softwares for both platforms, according to the host OS.

Separate MSIs for separate architectures:

and people use a WiX bundle to choose which depending on the system.

You can have a common source file for both MSIs, this kind of thing:
