Feature Request: ARM64 Support

[MichaelGrafnetter]

Hello, the installer is currently failing on ARM64 Windows 11 with the following error message:

As the app itself is written in .NET, the processor architecture check in the installer seems to be unnecessary.

Thanks Michael, originally we targeted x64 specifically because of our powershell integrations but in the near future we will have a dotnet 8+ based version with associated changes to powershell integration (it's a web ui and can also run on linux etc).

Interestingly, out of hundreds of thousands of users you are the first to ask for ARM support! Is there a Windows Server edition that runs on ARM64 and if so is that on Azure or some other provider?

I am actually also using Certify on workstations to fetch Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) TLS certificates. And I recently switched to the Windows Dev Kit 2023 as my main development machine, which is powered by a Snapdragon ARM64 CPU. But you are right, Windows ARM64 is also available in Azure, although it is still in Preview.

[webprofusion-chrisc]

Thanks, so yes we will eventually support arm64. I couldn't say when exactly though. I think from the use case you have that our new product will also suit you well (when its available). It's very much the same idea as the existing WPF app but with multi-user access/roles, web ui. For your RDP certs are these client certificates that you deploy to each machine and are you using DNS validation or (default) http validation?

[MichaelGrafnetter]

Thanks for your response, @webprofusion-chrisc . I will be more than happy to test the new solution, even though it sounds like an overkill for my use case.
I am only using (Azure) DNS for validation, as the target machines do not even have web servers.
