Please confirm these before moving forward

• 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

When I am offered to update the x86 version of .NET 6 runtime, winget actually installs the x64 version. This ends up in the x86 version not getting updated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have an old version of .NET 6 runtime (x86) installed.
2. Run winget upgrade Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6.
3. Notice that winget tries to update the already up-to-date x64 version.

Actual behavior

winget keeps downloading the x64 version.

Expected behavior

I expect it to download and install the x86 version of .NET 6

Environment

Windows Package Manager (Preview) v1.4.2161-preview
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.25206.1000
System Architecture: X64
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.19.2161.0

Hi,
Sorry to post this so rudely, but how did you implement this beautiful coloured progress bar in Windows Powershell ?
