What's Different in a 64-bit Installation?

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Component Details dialog box
To display this dialog box, select Setup Editor > Components tab, right-click a
component, and select Details.
The 64-bit component check box designates a component as 64-bit. This is
marked when you add 64-bit .EXE and .DLL files or 64-bit registry keys. If this is not
marked, the component is registered as a 32-bit component.
A 64-bit installation differs from a 32-bit installation in the following ways:
General Information page
The minimum version of Windows Installer is set to 2.00 in the Installer Version field.
Do not override this setting in a 64-bit installation, because 64-bit installations are not
supported by Windows Installer versions earlier than 2.0.
Setup Editor > Product Tab > Summary icon
The Template Summary property is set to x64 or Intel64, which indicates the platform
that is supported by the installation.
Condition Builder
Condition Builder contains additional property values:
VersionNT64, which is set when the installation runs on a 64-bit platform.
Intel64, which is set when the installation runs on an Itanium platform.
Msix64, which is set when the installation runs on an x64 platform.
