Edge Stable MSI wrong architecture in installer

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

Today i planed to deploy Enge Stable 79.0.301 in my environment but when i try adding edge do GPO i found out that both MSI package show that they are in x86 version, when one installer (x64) should show that is x64 version.

 

Because of this deployment its basically pointless because GPO wont be able install right package based on platform architecture. 

This may even cause installation in wrong directory o even make installation impossible because of conflict with x64 version.

 

I was able to repair this using orca and changing platform in "Summary information" - in both version x86 and x64 platform is set to "intel" when on x64 should be x64 like in image below

@_bolek_ even worse; the x64 platform version is installed in the x86 ProgramFilesFolder path...

 

@Henno_Keers i suspected this when i looking other post and one mentioned this.

@adamsmith34 i miss your post when i looked if someone have that same issue.

 

 

 

@_bolek_ I linked to my post to confirm and support your issue.

@_bolek_ 

hello, how exatcly did you repair?

What exact version of Orca?
I'm trying to do it but when I save the .MSI from Orca (5.0, latest I found) (even, without making any change) I get an error from group policy: "cannot extract informations about deployment of the packages: run validations"

Sorry for bad english and bad translation of error message.

Thanks

@unlikely i used super orca, its enhanced version of orca.

@Muncubus @_bolek_ Hello - Can you provide more information about the issue?  And how to reproduce?  

 

Are you downloading the files from Download Microsoft Edge for business - Microsoft?

 

I've tried to reproduce and when selecting Windows 64-bit the MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi was downloaded.  When selecting Windows 32-bit the MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX86.msi was downloaded.
