I cleaned out both install and uninstall and inserted only this statement.
Same error.

Thanks to everyone here I am learning a lot.
Then I suspect there may be more points within the script that checks for architecture than we have discovered so far. Let’s hope Martin finds time to fire-up his old netbook…
No doubt that this script is badly broken. I moved to a much more powerful i686 machine and it still does not recognize it as 32 bit.
On the new machine I went through all the steps and tests we did above to no avail.
Has the QA team looked at this yet? These 32 bit devices are stacking up around me.
Hi @Extra_Fidelity,
Yes, the QA team has looked at this and they have submitted a ticket with the development team as they are the ones best suited to address this issue. I don’t have any further information at this time, just that the ticket is pending review and is in the queue. I appreciate your patience here until I hear of any new updates regarding this case!
Just a thought, have you tried installing the harder way? That is, do the manual installation: see option 2 in https://kb.roonlabs.com/LinuxInstall.
Hi Martin-
I spent countless hours with both methods. The same pre-install hardware verification is performed going either way. That verification fails to recognize a valid 32 bit architecture.
If anyone else has been able to use the current 32 bit download with success please let me know.
A growning number of people are relying on me to get their 32 bit machines working as endpoints.
Okay, I’ve got a workaround for you. You’ll need to modify one line and add a few others. First, confirm the architecture:
arch
I am assuming this returns i686
.
Change line 8 to ARCH=i686
Now add the following to the case statement marked # Check for proper architecture
i686*)
if [ x$ARCH = xi686 ]; then OK=1; fi
;;
That’s it, it should run okay now. Tested with Ubuntu 16.04.6 Server (32-bit).
Martin, I owe you a big double scoop sundae! What is your favorite topping?
Line 8 was the problem. I had already made the changes around line 100.
So…here is the fix if anyone else gets stuck.
Thank you so very much!!!
Hello @Extra_Fidelity & Others following this thread,
I just received confirmation from QA that the installer has been updated on our downloads page and that this issue should be resolved, thanks!
Is it possible to update this install outside of Core?
