Winget-cli: Multiple Architectures in one manifest

Created on 12 May 2020 · 3Comments · Source: microsoft/winget-cli

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The client should support manifests with multiple architectures.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I should be able to have x86, x64, 32bit, 64bit, and ARM installers available from the same manifest (assuming the version of the package is the same). The client should chose the appropriate installer based on the machine's architecture.

The client should also be able to determine packages that are not supported with the current architecture and not display them to the user.

Here is the Docker model for that:
