[wix-users] 32 bit component uses 64 bit directory

[balachander s]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
I was running the code with Target environment = x86 and package platform
attribute to x64. Now it is running fine.

I was supposed to create installer for both 64 and 32 bit setups.(fact that
msi is being 32 bit file)
Now will this technique work? Or should i create separate installer project
for 32 bit

I know that we can use VERSIONNT64 to conditionally install components for
64 bit. But is that a good idea to approach?
