Prerequisites

  • Write a descriptive title.
  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
  • Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

x86 MSI install fails because ssh-agent fails to start

current workaround: install via zip package and configure ssh-agent service with custom allow list: -P "/C:/Program Files/*".

fix: update ssh-agent default allowlist that requires both env:ProgramFiles and env:ProgramFilesX86 to exist

Expected behavior

ssh-agent service should start and install should succeed

Actual behavior

x86 MSI fails to install with error that `ssh-agent service failed to start` - see https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/180001#issuecomment-2400842841
