Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Installing JetBrains.Rider package with --silent option uses "Program Files (x86)" as installation destination.

Appending --architecture x64 does not do anything since the installer does not provide architecture information as far as I understand.

If the installer is run with --interactive instead, it chooses "Program Files" (see screenshot) as the default installation destination.

This seems to be the default behavior of the installer. When WinGet installs with the /silent switch, it is the same as if you downloaded the exe yourself and ran it from the command line with /verysilent. In this case, it doesn't seem like WinGet is specifying the default location.
