I don't know about heat, but in my WXSes I have the following if...elseif clause to set the install directory to ProgramFiles64Folder if it is a 64bit build.
<?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?>
<?define bitness = "x64" ?>
<?define Win64 = "yes" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?elseif $(var.Platform) = x86 ?>
<?define bitness = "x86" ?>
<?define Win64 = "no" ?>
<?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?else ?>
<?error Unknown Platform/BuildType, needed for set Win64 variable definitions ?>
<?endif ?>

I've specified:
* `-arch x64` when running `candle.exe`.
* `Platform=x64` on the `Package`.
* `ProgramFiles64Folder` as the `Directory` id where things get installed.
and still, when the app gets installed, it goes to `C:\Program Files (x86)`.
There are some other `wxs` generated by `heat.exe`. I tried adding `-platform x64` and `-platform win64` to the calls to `heat.exe`, but it made no difference.
I read
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg513929.aspx
- The section on 64 bit installer in the Wix Cookbook
-
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4304253/how-do-i-get-wix-to-generate-a-64-bit-msi
and I think I'm doing everything that was described there.
What am I missing?
I've came up with a minimum case that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Product Id="*" Name="Project X" Manufacturer="X LLC"
Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0"
UpgradeCode="5bf2131c-4068-4cb3-adac-bc9c79ed8ce3">
<Package InstallerVersion="301" Compressed="yes"
InstallScope="perMachine" Platform="x64"/>
<Property Id="ApplicationFolderName" Value="Project X"/>
<Property Id="WixAppFolder" Value="WixPerMachineFolder"/>
<UI>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Advanced"/>
</UI>
</Product>
</Wix>
and I compile it like this:
candle.exe -arch x64 -ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension ProjectX.wxs
light.exe -ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension -out ProjectX-1.0.0-beta.3-win64.msi ProjectX.wixobj
It obviously complaints about the media table being empty:
> candle.exe -arch x64 -ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension ProjectX.wxs
