Viewing response to your post it seems the Natives are restless.
The less you need, the more you have. JaxCoder.com
Could this be the Return of the Native?

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:

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:

'native'? :laugh: Visual Studio 6 was native.

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

The help was much better too.
