When using a 32-bit version of 7z.exe to install applications, it can be subject to file system redirection. This was originally handled since 0.9.8.24 with chocolatey-archive/chocolatey@54985d5 but was later accidentally reverted in choco v0.9.10 - GH-616 (bde0941). With redirection, calls in 32bit processes to C:\Windows\System32 are automatically redirected to C:\Windows\SysWOW64. This can have undesirable effects when the path is meant to look for System32. Windows provides `SysNative` for this reason, and it should be used if the path is found (32bit processes on 64bit Windows). This puts the old behavior back to how it worked prior to the changes in 0.9.10.

Install PSWindowsUpdate and see what happens.
What You Are Seeing?
It appears it doesn't install successfully even though it logs that it does.
It actually installs to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ModulesWhat is Expected?
Install to
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ModulesHow Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

Prior to 0.9.10, this worked appropriately. This is first seen with 0.9.10: bde0941#diff-e6324cd750d08e45111a0365537f3632L115. Note that the changes removed the call using the variables with 32 at the end that disabled redirection.
