Id SDK_ARCH INST_ARCH Status ============================================== 1 ix86 ix86 works 2 ix86 x86_64 works 3 x86_64 ix86 cannot work 4 x86_64 x86_64 works
The bug report is about case 3 - attempting to install a 64 bit SDK on a 32 bit machine. This indeed cannot work and shuld be prevented byy the installer.
But the current code also prevents case 2, installing 32 bit images on a 64 bit machine, which works perfectly fine (assuming you have the needed 32 bit libraries installed).
I see your point. Would you please file a bug on this?
