PR microsoft#1815 updated the installer dependency version, which seems to have caused the installer to enforce the AllowedArchitectures=x64 check (which has been there for years). We've received complaints from users that the latest release refuses to install on their ARM machines, but previous versions did and worked fine with the default x86/64 emulation. The latest version of Innosetup adds x64compatible option for the AllowedArchitectures and ArchitecturesInstallIn64BitMode to address the case of x64 emulation on ARM.

Although ARM is not explicitly supported, we should not prevent users from installing GVFS on ARM when it has been working for them so far.
