Description of the new feature/enhancement

Install is blocked by a dependency not having the same scope or architecture as requested by the main installer.

This can be seen in:

Unsure what the intended behavior here is, so unsure if feature or bug.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

There are many ways this could be resolved, and others might be better.

  • Possibly allow machine scope dependencies on user scope installs?

    • Maybe with the same "expect a prompt" warning as elevationRequired packages have?

  • Could also use a switch in WinGet to enable or disable this behavior on a per-install basis.

  • Failing could already be the best option, but there should be better communication about why.

Also, I'm pretty sure every Mozilla-based offline installer does the "machine if elevated, user otherwise" thing
