How to enable AMD 64 support?

I am working on a basic MSI project now.

Our installer need to support 32/64 bit OS, and also for AMD64 CPU. All components are 32-bit. As instructions I searched from KB, I added "Intel,AMD64;1033" as the value of "Template Summary" property. It builds OK. But when I begin installation on 32-bit XP, the installer always complains it can not open the install package and it is not valid Windows Installer package.

While I remove "AMD64" from the TS property, and tries on 32-bit XP, everything is fine.

Can anyone here give some ideas?

Thanks.

As stated on Heath Stewart's blog, Intel, x64, and Intel64 are mutually exclusive. This can be extracted from the documentation, but I do agree it's not the easiest thing to read. So you need to remove Intel, and change AMD64 to x64.
