Error Processor type not supported after project converted from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010

The solution, which retains an installer project, was recently converted from 2008 project to 2010.

However, attempts to run the .msi that is created returns the error 

 "Processor type not supported....

If you run the setup.exe, it will error that "the application is designed for a x64 platform but is being installed on an intel"

However, the configuration of the solution, is set to to Any CPU.

I am finding little in the way of possible solutions and have seen where people ran into this converting from 2003 - 2005.

Any suggestions?

Installer projects (assuming you mean the built in Visual Studio Installer stuff) don't expose their CPU type through the build/configuration system. Instead, there is a Target Platform property of the project itself (select project in Solution Explorer, open Properties).

This property only supports x86, x64 and Itanium, so whatever it's currently set to, it isn't AnyCPU.
