Category of the issue
Installation issue.
Brief description of your issue
I am currently running 64-bit Dropbox, downloaded directly from them:
https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?plat=win&type=full&arch=x64
the current installer from that link is ...
https://edge.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/experimental/Dropbox%20164.4.7914%20Offline%20Installer.x64.exe
please note that their own installer has put the 64-bit executable in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\ folder, it was not my choice to put it there.
...and... it seems that winget is trying to replace a 64-bit version of Dropbox with a 32-bit one - the installer that winget is trying to download has no "x64" in the url - for Dropbox that usually means it is a x86 executable image, not an x64
Steps to reproduce
- install the 64-bit version of Dropbox
e.g.https://edge.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/Dropbox%20164.4.7914%20Offline%20Installer.x64.exe - run winget upgrade
- find out that winget is trying to replace the 64-bit build with a 32-bit one.
Actual behavior
winget wants to "upgrade" my Dropbox from 64-bit to 32-bit.
Expected behavior
install the x64 upgrade, not the x86 one
