The Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console documentation indicates that all .net code can be instrumented and code coverage collected but I get this error on the command line:
Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console.exe instrument Blah.Service.exe
Unable to instrument this binary because the architecture is not supported.
Can I use Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console to instrument and collect code coverage for a windows service using .net 4.8?

Hello, which version of Visual Studio are you using?
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 (64-bit) - Current
Version 17.3.6
The instrument command is used to instrument native binary on disk.
For the Blah.Service.exe, it may not meet the requirement. I suppose the Microsoft.CodeCoverage.Console tool is not supported to instrument for windows service.
Please directly report it to product team in Developer Community:

How is Blah.Service.exe generated? If this is simple .NET 48 application you can try using latest stable Visual Studio to instrument it. Latest version supports .NET 48 applications.
