  • I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
  • I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

The installer link goes to the 64bit installer for the package. Yet it doesn't distinguish between 32bit and 64bit versions of this program. This is relevant because some components (plugins) are still not ported to 64bit, therefore some users like me still use the 32bit version of foobar2000.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install the 32bit version of foobar2000 by first downloading the file from the website. An earlier version would be necessary for testing purposes.
  2. Use winget to update foobar2000.

Actual behavior

Winget installs the 64bit version over the 32bit version.

Expected behavior

Multiple possible ways: Winget might just ignore this application if its 32bit and not update it all, or ideally another winget package is created for the 32bit version which can be used to keep foobar2000 32bit updated with winget.

Environment

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.26100.3624
System Architecture: X64
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.25.340.0

I'm using UniGetUI.

Screenshots and Logs

In UniGetUI saw that foobar2000 is also available with chocolatey and I checked their installer package. It has the 32bit version in it. So I might switch to using chocolatey for this one program as a crutch. But ideally you'd have winget decide on the correct installer depending on whatever bit version the user has installed on their PC.
