Install fails to copy files to target folder

During the installtion of my 32 bit C# program, I must also copy some utility DLL's into C:\Program Files (x86)\SomeAppDir\, and my 64bit DLL's into C:\Program Files\SomeAppDir64\
The problem is the DLL's will copy fine into the Programs (x86)\SomeAppDir but they do not copy into the C:\Program Files\SomeAppDir64\ folder.

QUESTION: How can I get Installaware to copy files into both the 32 bit x86 Program Files folder, and x64 Program Files folder in the same installer?

I've tried using a hard-coded path and switching the installer into 64-bit mode but, both install the x64 files in
[*] C:\Program Files (x86)\SomeAppDir64\ <= wrong path
[*] C:\Program Files\SomeAppDir64\ <= right path

Please advise.

My application is only 32-bit so I need to always install in 32-bit mode. I want to be able to install dll's in another application's 64-bit folder. Any suggestions for doing that?

Dear User,

Please have a look at the Windows 64 project template that comes with IA ... It does exactly that.
