How to use Heat and HarvestFile to generate 32-bit components

[djohnst10]

Is there a way to use Heat and HarvestFile to harvest 32-bit COM DLLs as 32-bit components (Bitness="always32") in a 32-bit directory? I am getting this when I do a build:

error WIX0204: ICE80: This 64BitComponent component.dll uses 32BitDirectory AppBinFolder

I am aware that I could use <Transform> to all the Bitness="always32" attribute but I was hoping for a simpler way.

Also, what makes a directory a 32BitDirectory? Is it that it is below the ProgramFilesFolder? The build is being done in Visual Studio 2022 as x64.

This page indicates that ProgramFilesFolder is ALWAYS a 32-bit directory and ProgramFiles64Folder (on the platforms that support it) is ALWAYS a 64-bit directory.

This is the reason that WiX v4 created the ProgramFiles6432Folder that will target the bitness of the package itself.
