That's expected!
For the x64 build, you *must* first build the 32-bit version. Well, at
least if you want to build the setup msi.
Because the x64 installer (that's why you get the error in the WiX build)
includes a 32-bit dll. That dll provides context-menu and overlays for
32-bit processes on x64 OS.
Without this, explorer-replacements (if they don't have an x64 version)
couldn't make use of the shell extension part of TSVN.
And of course, you wouldn't get overlays/contextmenus in the
file-open/save-dialogs of 32-bit applications.
