At last: A native 64 bit Visual Studio
-
I just downloaded the 2022 preview of Visual Studio and noticed it installed in the Program Files folder, not the Program Files (x86) folder like all earlier versions. So this must be the first native 64 bit version of VS. Nice! What took you so long MS? :confused:

Installed it, loaded up our (mostly) c++/mfc solution, hit f5, many long minutes later, no errors, no warnings... So, well done MS and VS. :thumbsup:

But I have to be patient: There is no current version of the Prism installer that will work with VS2022. Brian Lagunas just confirmed that they will not bring out Prism for a preview product. I will have to wait for the final version before I can do my MVVM / Prism projects. :sigh: Hopefully it will not be too long.

Until you realise the bit you are missing is the one bit you actually used to use all the time. :laugh:

OK, Visual C++ 6.0, you nitpick! :-D

:laughs: Cadbury has somewhat recently changed their ads. It used to be said that there was a glass and a half in every one. Now, they say that there's a glass and a half in everyone. Not written mind you, but in the way it's said. I noticed and reckoned I knew what their angle was. Dad noticed too - but climbed up the mountain from a different angle and thought they'd made a mistake. :oops: :haha: When he called em to point it out, she explained that the saying was no longer referring to the blocks of chocolate, but were instead now talking about the consumers.. :laugh: (because they've shrunk the blocks so much that there is in fact, not that much milk in em) Your comment reminded me of this, with the placement of a comma. Native, 64 bit vs Native 64 bit Thanks for the fun. :)

Could this be the Return of the Native?

That doesn't necessarily guarantee that it's a 64-bit app. I've seen installers that forced their apps into
C:\Program Fileseven though they were 32-bit, largely because they had hard-coded folders in the application.Software Zen:

Several years ago, I worked on a project where a few modules had to be built/maintained in Visual C++ 6.0. Always blew me away how fast it was.

I don't think Microsoft would do that? Would they? :confused:

I would find it a little irritating, but not surprising. They've been known to break their own rules and ignore their own guidelines often enough.

devenv.exeprocess is indeed a 64-bit process. -

The help was much better too.
