If you wish to only install the 32-bit version of Java use the /exclude parameter. The switch to exclude 32-bit is /exclude:32 and to exclude 64-bit /exclude:64 For example: choco install jre8 -PackageParameters “/exclude:64” -y This package no longer manually adds an environment variable. x86 installs of Windows you can expect to see an error while reading the registry, but the script will still function normally.
