@Ged The user is able to choose which BEs they want to install, so if they only want the x86 BE, they can deselect the x64 or ARM features. That's a pretty standard functionality of MSI after all. @Daniel If that's the route being taken, you're going to have to go with #2. You can't run 2 MSIs

I object highly to the idea of bundling cmake with the BE. Most platforms already have binaries built of cmake, either by the distro or for Windows, the people who make cmake provide an installer. We provide the compilers and linkers and we provided rbuild because it was our own thing, but cmake

Right. It's that lack of division that causes quite a few of the situations that leads to trunk locking. And I'm not advocating for one right now. But there is a divide between how some people view trunk. Some view it more as a stable repo, others more as an unstable. Causes all sorts of
