This is the right change to make, but it means that ARM64 installations are not going to upgrade well WRT removing the old files. We might need to document that those should be manually cleaned up if folks wish to do so.

Maybe also consider/test what'll happen if someone installs x64, then installs arm64, then upgrades x64 to the next release.
And perhaps a more interesting subscenario in the future: what if the first x64 installer installs to
/usr/local/share/dotnet
, the arm64 installer replaces some files, and then the second x64 installer has the logic to install to/usr/local/share/dotnet/x64
? (Would the x64 upgrade delete files from the arm64 install because it thinks the old x64 installer was the one to place them down? I'm not familiar with how these files are tracked.)There was a problem hiding this comment.

I believe we scoped out upgrade from pre x64-on-ARM64 installers, since the assumption is most of the ARM64 machines will be new installs. @richlander is that correct? It still may be interesting to understand what happens since that could be a state folks get into.
