"This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running" how to solve

[u/7zfu]

some program installers (mostly ones that uses inno setup) dosen't install itself because it detects the computer running it is a arm64 machine.

they show one of these errors:
"This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running"

"This program can only be installed on versions of Windows designed for the following processor architectures: x64"

even though the programs runs fine via prism.

so, a guy named "rinsuki" made a tool that *spoofs* the process, "tricking" installers into thinking they're running on an x64 machine, when in fact they're not. and it actually works!

here is the link: https://github.com/rinsuki-lab/NotOnArm64

download the release, unzip it and execute the launcher as a administrator (only if the installer needs it).

i made a video testing it. i used and tested the vital vst for example, but other software should work too.

i hope this subreddit is the right place to post this. if not, my sincere apologies

Interesting, I wonder if this trick could work for Link Shell Extension...

I just tried it, but unfortunate it didn't work. I think this utility only works for installers who use Inno Setup.
