I have a file that has a 32bit version and a 64bit version. If I install my application on a 32bit machine, I want the 32bit version of the file to be installed. Likewise, the 64bit version should get installed if the installation is run on a 64bit machine. How do I check which type of machine the installer is being run on with WiX?
