The TargetPlatform setting should have an option for Any. Choosing this will allow one package to work on both 32 and 64 bit systems.

The installer project doesn't have it's own platform. If you right-click the installer project and open the project properties. Under the "build" section there is the "Configuration Manager". Within here you can set the platform for each project as it's built for the installer. Set each of you projects to "Any CPU".

If you don't have that option for specific project. Select "<new...>" within the Platform drop down. Select Any CPU in the "New Project Platform" pop up. Click ok.
