Bug Report

Current Behavior

When using bin to define a x64 system program, shim cannot find it correctly.

Expected Behavior

Shim should be able to find it and execute it.

Additional context/output

Example bin block:

"bin": [
  [
    "conhost.exe",
    "background-process",
    "--headless powershell -noprofile -command \"echo 'hello'\""
  ]
]

Possible Solution

Resolve the system path in x86 mode, or have x64 shim.

System details

Windows version: 11

OS architecture: 64bit

PowerShell version: 7.5.5
