You can find the required information here:
http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_setup_architecturesinstallin64bitmode.htm

According to the docs, you should add following to the [Setup] section 
(untested):

   ArchitecturesAllowed=x64
   ArchitecturesInstallIn64BitMode=x64

Note that with these modifications the script can no longer be used for 
32bit installs.


Since 32bit binaries run perfectly fine on 64bit Windows machines, I 
still fail to see why 64bit binaries are worth the huge extra effort 
right now. The only exception is the LFS support, but that can be 
handled differently, see Ethan's patch #675.
