Windows 11 ARM installer support? #185

Closed sirneb closed 1 year ago

sirneb commented 1 year ago

For the binary installer, using Windows 11 ARM, the installer does not allow installation with the message:

This program can only be installed on versions of Windows designed for the following processor architectures:

x86
x64

Is it possible to change that restriction on the windows installer? The app as far as I know is fully functional on Windows 11 ARM. What I do right now to get around this is actually install on a separate Windows 11 x64 machine and then copy the folders to my Windows 11 ARM machine.

(Same problem with Book Lib Connect as well, it also works just fine on my Windows 11 ARM).

By the way, thanks for the great work with these projects!

I really don't know. I have no experience with Windows on ARM and no idea what might be supported and what not.

I don't know much about that as well. But surprisingly, the x86/x64 to ARM translation does a great job. Most modern software just works.

Thanks for the pointer, @sirneb! Rather than installing on x86/x64 hardware and then copying the program directory over to the ARM-based computer, I used Daniel Scharrer's innoextract to simply unpack AaxAudioConverter-1.18.2-Setup.exe - worked like a charm!

@tinyapps thanks for the tip, that saves me some back and forth.
