Unable to install in Windows-for-ARM inside Parallels

Open ggkountouras opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Platform

Windows 11, Parallels 18.2.0, macOS 13.1

Error

I'm getting the following error with Preview 14, even though Windows-for-ARM should be able to emulate x64 apps. I don't expect real-time performance from emulation inside a VM, since that is 2 layers of indirection.

Win_x64_only

Possible fixes

Newer versions of .NET (.NET Core, not the older .NET Framework) support cross-platform apps, including ARM architectures natively. That could be an avenue to cover Windows-for-ARM as well.

It's definitely doable by adding another build target. However, I don't have any hardware to test it. Are you able to compile it yourself to check if it works?

I think so. Can you briefly outline the process for that, since I'm not in the .NET ecosystem? It should be something like:

  1. Download the sources
  2. Download Visual Studio ARM Native
  3. Add .NET as a target (& download the SDK if it's not included in VS)
  4. Build .NET Core app for ARM

Probably just like you described. You just have to add a new configuration (ARM64) in configuration manager: image (simply select x64 as a base, you don't have to manually edit anything).
