Windows 10: Microsoft Keyboard Layout creator 1.4 Wrong msi

I used the editor to simply add a foreign character. I entered the character, did a verify and then did a test, which worked. I then did a build and setup package. If I run the setup, it appear to run ok but it does not work even after a reboot, nothing happens. The I noticed that the build creates 3 msi files. There is an I64, a 386 and an AMD. I definitely have have a 64 bit I7. The msi that gets installed is the AMD. If I manually try to run the other 2 msi's they will say that that are not supported with my processor. If I uninstall the AMD msi, the US Custom layout goes away. If I delete the AMD msi, the setup will not work.


So how do I get the setup to run the correct msi or otherwise get this to work.
