What is the easiest way to use group policies to install the 64 bit version of a package on 64bit systems and the 32bit package on 32 bit systems.
I have done some searching and I am not seeing anything useful about how to use group policies in an environment where I have some 64 bit systems and some 32 bit system and I want to install the correct version for both.
Just to use a few examples. I want to automatically install things like [7zip](http://www.7-zip.org/download.html), and [TortoiseSVN](http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads) which both come as both 32, and 64 bit.
Ideally I was hoping that I do not have to create groups of computers, or write any scripts to accomplish this.

Gpo will automatically target the right system for you. A 64bit msi will not be installed on 32bit clients, but 32bit can be deployed on both 64 and 32.
To avoid that 32bit msi's gets deployed to 32bit systems:
- Add the 32bit msi to the gpo.
- right click and then select properties.
- click the *Advanced* button
- untick *Make this 32-bit X86 application available to Win64 machines.* checkbox
For 64bit msi's I just add them as usual and they will only install on 64bit systems.
I deploy 7zip and TortoiseSVN like above with plain gpo (windows 2003 sp1).
