How to resolve?

[anaisbetts]

You installed a 32-bit version of Windows, Squirrel.Windows is 64-bit only for building installers

[lukywong]

@paulcbetts is it possible to support 32-bit version of windows? because i really want it support

[anaisbetts]

@lukywong No, sorry! While the installer you build will support 32-bit computers (i.e. your users can have 32-bit OS), your computer must be 64-bit.

[fengerzh]

@anaisbetts Is there any official document mentions that we can only build on 64-bit Windows? Thanks!

[anaisbetts]

Not sure what you're looking for, but no there's no official document
