[Package Issue]: Microsoft.Office Architecture

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 installing the Microsoft Office package via Winget, the installation ignores the --architecture flag and installs the 32-bit version of Office. The 32-bit version of Office also gets installed if the --architecture flag is not included in the command.

Steps to reproduce

1. Command - winget install Microsoft.Office --architecture x64
2. Open Word, or other Office programs, and complete or ignore the initial setup.
   3a. Open Task Manager and check program architecture
   3b. Open program shortcut properties and check target location.

Actual behavior

The Office install is installing the 32-bit version of the software regardless of the --architecture flag or the architecture of the machine that it is running on.

Expected behavior

I am expecting Office to install to correct architecture version of Office as passed by the command.

Screenshots and Logs

WinGet-2022-04-26-14-23-30.229.log

Start by reproducing winget install Microsoft.Office --architecture x64 on the stated 64-bit Windows environment, then inspect the linked diagnostic log and verify the installed program in Task Manager or its shortcut target. Done means the command installs the x64 Office version rather than the 32-bit version, and the behavior is consistent with the requested architecture.
