See my last sentence above. Is your condition present? If so, check a 
verbose log, both around InstallValidate to see what MSI is selecting 
for component state and in the install script to see the op-codes for 
shortcut creation.

Note that a 32-bit MSI can't install 64-bit components so you'll need 
separate MSI packages anyway.
