Tailwind doesnt have a windows ARM release

[ewassef]

The CLI is trying to download the tailwind cli from Github and is switching on the architecture of the machine. However, they do not have an ARM executable and is causing a failure on new Windows ARM machines

The fix would be to simply remove this line and use the X64 architecture each time

Thank you! Yeah, they don’t support Windows ARM architecture in v4. Do I understand your suggestion correctly that returning an x64 binary for Windows ARM will work? So, we should just do this instead:

// Return x64 executable for both ARM64 and X64 architectures
if (RuntimeInformation.ProcessArchitecture == Architecture.Arm64 || 
    RuntimeInformation.ProcessArchitecture == Architecture.X64)
{
    return "tailwindcss-windows-x64.exe";
}
return null;

Correct, i just submitted a PR with the fix.

What is the release schedule for the new tool?

These changes are available in the preview release: https://www.nuget.org/packages/tailwindcss-dotnet/2.0.0-beta.2, so they can already be used. However, it's not marked as the latest release yet. There are also other planned updates that may include breaking changes.
