On both winows xp 32-bit and windows 7 64-bit PROGRAMFILES returns "C:\program files".

In the package I am making the decision on where the package is located so
I use "%PROGRAMFILES% (x86)" which gives me "c:\program files (x86) if I
need it.  Otherwise I get "c:\program files".  So I think I am correct in how
I set PKG_DESTINATION.

<variable name="PKG_DESTINATION" value="%PROGRAMFILES% (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" architecture="x64"/>
<Variable name="PKG_DESTINATION" value="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox"       architecture="x86"/>


If the machine is win64 then I need to use "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox".  If it is
win32 then I need to use "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox".  None of this explains how
PKG_DESTINATION ends up ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.cfg" as seen in
the log which is from a totally different package...
