    Description

      Qt Creator's installer comes with theĀ "X86 Debuggers And Tools-x86_en-us.msi" and "X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi", but on an Windows 11 Arm64 the x64 installer is not properly installed.

      At https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-26934 I've found out that in order to get the "X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi" installed you need to call msiexec /i "X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi" from an x64 application.

      Any other attempts will result in a failed installation.

      Qt Creator's installer is a x64 application and everything should just work:

      $ dumpbin /headers qt-creator-opensource-windows-x86_64-9.0.0-beta2.exe | findstr machine
                  8664 machine (x64)
      

      Unless the installer calls shell execute and the Arm64 version of Windows Explorer takes care of the installation and the installation fails.
