-Wow64 <SwitchParameter>

By default, the PackageDeployment module assumes to run in a 64-bit PowerShell process on 64-bit systems, and therefore defaults to the 64-bit application location (if different from the 32-bit application location) for file and registry accesses. If you want to access the 32-bit counterparts (in the file system %WinDir%\SysWOW64 instead of %WinDir%\System32, in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE), use the -Wow64 switch.
