Description
#474 introduced a regression when cross-building installers (as seen in napari/packaging#103). We are now trying to guess the type and version of the passed conda-standalone executable (which can be mamba), but we can't do so if the target platform is not the same as host (can't execute!). Instead of crashing with a traceback, we'll catch that exception and warn the user that "things might not work" but proceed anyway.
