Here is some context of my current situation: I have a very simple install, three executables and three DLL's and one desktop Icon; My Installer I am using is InnoSetup, which detects the archite...
Hi catinkayak
For your scenario to support multiple architectures, you can consider the following steps:
Step 1. Create separate MSIX for each package
Step 2: Create an MSIX Bundle
Here's a guide on how to do this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/bundle-msix-packages
The bundle will allow you to upload a single package to the Microsoft Store or Partner Center.

From your description, I'm not sure if you really had the x86 version installed and packaged in your test; it might have been the arm64 version. I don't know inno setup and can't see what sets {app} variable, but that may have dictated the location, which wouldn't really affect the app anyway - it is just a convention. You can probably check file sizes to confirm, or use a tool that will read the PE header to confirm. You can also just run the installer on the Arm64 OS and start the app, look in TaskManager/ProcessExplorer and confirm if 32 or 64 bit process.
