Installer not working on Windows 11 on Arm64

[Nabla128k]

Installer refuse to work on Arm64 Windows 11. Is there a reason for this?

[ndabas]

Yes. We haven't validated that the toolchain (which is all built for x64) works correctly under emulation.

[Nabla128k]

Toolchain itself works well if manually installed. But not the installer.

[ndabas]

Thanks for the report, we will look at removing this limitation from the installer for the next release.

Just following up on this, any luck at removing the limitation for Arm64 version of windows?

+1 for a native ARM64 tool chain

[ndabas]

This will be done in the next release of the installer -- which will coincide with the next release of the Pico SDK.

Note that there is no fully native ARM64 toolchain, as we include the ARM GCC and other tools from various vendors, and many do not have native ARM64 releases. We will include the tools that do have ARM64 releases, though.
