Error when trying to delete x86 printer drivers on an x64 Windows 2016 #150

On Windows Server the printer drivers are often installed twice, so that both x86 and x64 client Windows systems can successfully pull a driver. The 'Select old driver' works fine, deleting the x64 drivers work fine, but deleting the x86 driver cause an error:

Tested with v0.11.64.

Is the x86 driver still present after delete the x64 driver?

Hmm... good question. The nature is that Windows Server OS will only show x64 itself. The easy test would be to try to point&print install on a x86 client Windows OS. Unfortunately I've go rid of the last x86 VM after Win7 went out of support and I haven't replaced it by a new x86 client VM. When I look in the DriverStore FileRepository the x86 files are still there.
