However, their payload (Slack for Windows) is 64-bit. Up to version 3.3.8 of Slack’s desktop app, the MSI packages were compiled in 32-bit.
We installed the 64-bit version of the MSI, but program files and registry entries were written to the 32-bit locations on our 64-bit system. Make sure you adjust the version number to the version you’re installing. You’ll want to use something like: msiexec /i "slack-standalone-.msi" INSTALLLEVEL=2 /qn /norestart.

Users on 64-bit Windows who download Firefox can get our 64-bit version by default.
