ERROR_INSTALL_PLATFORM_UNSUPPORTED

ERROR_INSTALL_PLATFORM_UNSUPPORTED means the installer package targets a processor architecture that Windows cannot use on this computer.

Confirm the architecture of both the operating system and the package. Do not assume that an x64 package is compatible with every non-x86 Windows platform.

What to check

  • Check the package label or manifest for its target architecture and compare it with the installed Windows architecture.
  • Obtain the vendor-provided package for the correct architecture rather than trying to modify the installer database.
  • For managed deployments, verify that the deployment rule does not offer one architecture to incompatible devices.
