I have some application where i can install some flavors 32bit, 64bit, 32+64bit, compatibleMode i can define all in my manifest. Currently all architecture/flavor name are valid in json manifest for applications. (I can use checkvers and autoupdate....)

But when i want to install, i'm limited to only two values 32bit/64bit could it be possible to accept with -a additional verb and just print a warning instead of quitting ?

in core.ps1 in function ensure_architecture removing default behavior to return $architecture_opt seems to be ok for next step !
Anyhow, if application do not support exotic flavor installation is not made !

32+64bit

Isn't this just 32bit?

compatibleMode

Which type of architecture is this?

Regardless, only those architectures will be supported which can be determined from the OS. Neither of these can be.

32+64 is more to install both 32 and 64bit pgm in same folder for a 64bit cpu on 64bit os.
compatibleMode is just a verb do not stick to cpu architecture just consider it as different flavor of a single application i want to keep in a single json and deployed name some pgm have different install file for different languages i waouls have used 32bit_en, 64bit_fr, 64bit_tk 32bit_sp, 64bit_de ...

See #3265

Can you give an example?

some pgm have different install file for different languages i waouls have used 32bit_en, 64bit_fr, 64bit_tk 32bit_sp, 64bit_de ...

For this you need to create separate manifests as languages are not architectures.

I know that i can write as many json manifest as i need, and this is not what i want !

The goal of the feature request is to not have not a architecture but a "verb" to have multiple flavor of a single application in a single json.

If you are picky about architecture to have to be an architecture then add a new part in the json to be able to select another thing than architecture !
