I want to ship the files into C:\Program Files Folder instead of C:\Program Files(x86) folder even if it is 64 bit machine. I have tried variables 'ProgramFilesFolder' and 'ProgramFiles64Folder', but it is trying to ship the files to this C:\Program Files(x86) folder only. Also i have given the shipping path directly in wix project, but still it is shipping the files into wrong location.

You say you are authoring a 64bit installer but then you also say "even if it is a 64bit machine". A 64bit installer can ONLY be installed on a 64bit machine. This would suggest to me you are authoring a 32bit installer. A 32bit installer cannot install components to 64bit locations.
Assuming you are in fact authoring a 64bit installer, ProgramFiles64Folder should do the trick. You haven't posted any source or any installer logs so it's impossible to say what you are doing wrong. I would make sure your package is marked 64bit and that all of your components are marked 64bit.
C:\Program Filesfolder? If this is the case, you need to fix the application. – IInspectable
