'File System Redirector' is causing this.

I haven't tried it though. May be, you can create a separate 64-bit MSI for this app.

If you need to copy a file to System32 on a 64-bit operating system using a 32-bit MSI you have to do some magic ;)
Use a custom action to copy to the path under \\%computername%\C$\windows\system32\

Just have in mind that the admin shares can be "disabled" so it isn't foolproof that the "C$" share exists

You can try also setup custom action flag "Use 64 bit scripting" for your vbs script (msidbCustomActionType64BitScript)

Does the 64-bit flag for script CAs really work if the Platform property isn't set to x64?
I've always wondered whether this works [:)]

There has to be a nicer way to do this. Hard-coded paths should be avoided (especially a network UNC path to a local resource).
What is best practice? To create a 64-bit MSI?

Set Platform property to x64 and add the 64-bit flag to every component.
But the problem of premnath is, that he need a x86 MSI which installs some files to x64 paths in Windows.
