(sysinternals) Include ARM64 binaries in package

[cxiao]

On the official Downloads page for Sysinternals, Microsoft currently provides the following versions of Sysinternals for download:

• Sysinternals for x86_32 and x86_64 systems, at https://download.sysinternals.com/files/SysinternalsSuite.zip
• Sysinternals for Nano server, at https://download.sysinternals.com/files/SysinternalsSuite-Nano.zip
• Sysinternals Suite for ARM64, at https://download.sysinternals.com/files/SysinternalsSuite-ARM64.zip

The Sysinternals package on the Chocolatey community repository currently only provides the x86_32 / x86_64 and Nano server versions of Sysinternals.

While a lot of the Sysinternals tools will work just fine under Windows ARM64's x86_32 and x86_64 instruction emulation, tools which rely on loading a kernel driver for their main functionality will not. An example of such a tool is Procmon, which cannot provide its main functionality without loading the ARM64 version of the PROCMON24.sysdriver; the ARM64 version of the driver is only available as a resource inside procmon64a.exe, which is only included in the ARM64 download of Sysinternals.

Note that not all of the Sysinternals tools have a binary available in SysinternalsSuite-ARM64.zip. As of 2022-11-10, this is the list of binaries inside that ZIP:

ADInsight64a.exe

(I haven't been able to find any information from Microsoft that says whether they're planning to provide ARM64 builds eventually for all the tools.)

I have access to a Windows 11 ARM64 machine and am willing to submit a PR to help with this.

I would be okay with a PR being created, but no one could review/test out the changes you made (AFAIK).

So even if you created a PR, it would likely be left hanging until one or more repository maintainers can test your changes.

If you are still okay with that, I can approve and get an issue created based on this discussion

Thanks, I'm fine with that - getting an issue created is a great first step.

Done, thank you!
