Expected Behaviour

Actual Behaviour

The stable 32-bit release directory is named Win32 while the development release directory is named x86

OS Version

Windows 10

Graphviz Version

  • The stable build is graphviz-install-2.44.1-win32.exe
  • The development build is graphviz-install-2.44.2~dev.20200821.1434-win32.exe

Additional info

This was noted by @smattr in https://forum.graphviz.org/t/windows-x86-x86-64-builds/305.

The reason is that Set up VCTools variables and import into PowerShell environment changes the $Env:platform environment variable to x86. This setup was introduced after the latest stable release in 9afa76f2, hence the difference.
