Comment: Cannot install WiX3.6
I tried increasing the timeout but that didn't help. I think the problem is that the initial timeout is 30s and if I download the file manually the browser doesn't do anything for nearly 3 minutes.

Program Files folder
When building a combined x86/x64 package it would be good if there was a single variable that could be used to reference the program files folder. For example on x86 or x64 ProgramFiles64Folder could return "C:\Program Files". On x64 ProgramFilesFolder would return "C:\Program Files (x86)".
