Luk,
        there is no such attribute.

See http://wpkg.org/Notepad_plus_plus for an example of installing a 32-bit application on x86 and AMD64.

See http://wpkg.org/UltraDefrag for an example of using a 64-bit or 32-bit installer, depending on the platform.

The second example could be changed to include the PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE in the installer name, which will reduce the install and upgrade commands by one and simplify the commands.

<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\UltraDefrag\ultradefrag-micro-edition-3.0.0.bin.%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%.exe" /S /NCRC' />

For this one would need to change i386 to x86 for the 32-bit installer.
