How can i create one MSI that will handle both cases? Hmmm...I wonder why, if that were possible, why Microsoft has 2 separate packages for their apps?

You'll need to build a wrapper to handle the OS test and then execute the appropriate MSI. For computer with 64 --> Install BOTH : 32 and 64 MSI I'm not at all sure whether you can install both 32-bit and 64-bit apps on a 64-bit host, I've never tried as I've never seen the point. Maybe it's just me...

Yes, that is posible....remember is Microsoft ...LOL, check the link it says you need 32 and 64 installed in a 64bit computer:

The answer is; you don't. For each version, create a MST if desired. If you're using SCCM or another management system, create a package for the x64 version and mark the x86 package as a dependancy.

If you're not running management software, one thing you could do is to create a wrapper that calls both MSI's and launch it on every system. You could add some logic to the wrapper like so:
If exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\" then you know it's a x64 system and can run the x64 MSI first.
