By design, you should have 2 installers for this, 1 with 32 bit components and 1 with 64 bit components.
Otherwise you will have loads of validation errors...

There was a recent blog post on this topic:

http://blogs.flexerasoftware.com/installtalk/2011/01/building-32-bit-and-64-bit-installations-from-the-same-installshield-project.html

Along with some other commentary on a pitfall that the blog entry fell into. I think this will give you what you are looking for. But, life is least complicated when using two separate project files, in my opinion.
