Description
`choco install -h`
> --x86, --forcex86
> ForceX86 - Force x86 (32bit) installation on 64 bit systems. Defaults to false.
The problem is `x86` is an architecture family of varying bit depths which is inclusive of 64-bit so this doesn't make strict sense.
Propose `--32b, --force32bit`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with `choco install -h` and trace where the `--x86` and `--forcex86` options are defined and parsed. Done means the 32-bit options are available, the x86 equivalents are deprecated as proposed, and the command help accurately describes the supported names.
