Description

When upgrading MediaInfo via winget, the installer fails with the following error message from MediaInfo:

Windows not i386!

It seems that winget upgrade tries to install the i386 (32-bit) package by default, even though my system is 64-bit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run winget upgrade MediaArea.MediaInfo.GUI
  2. Installation fails with the dialog:

    Windows not i386!

Expected Behavior

On a 64-bit Windows system, winget upgrade should install the x64 build of MediaInfo automatically.

Workaround

Running the command with explicit architecture works:

winget install --id MediaArea.MediaInfo.GUI --architecture x64 --force

System Information

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 24H2
Betriebssystembuild 26100.6584
Leistung Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.234.0
Winget: v1.11.430

    Running the command with explicit architecture works:

    The issue is in WinGet and forcing the architecture (once) it the fix.
