Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate for x64?

Question

I have an x64 machine and an MSDN subscription. I want to download VS2010 Ultimate. However, I'm not seeing an x64 version on the subscriber downloads page. Why might this be? Am I missing something?

Answer 1

It's because there isn't one. Here is a discussion: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ricom/archive/2009/06/10/visual-studio-why-is-there-no-64-bit-version.aspx

Answer 2

There is no 64-bit version of VS2010. Can't find a good prooflink, only this one: http://www.ditii.com/2009/06/12/visual-studio-2010-will-be-32-bit-exclusive-no-64-bit/

EDIT: but it does include everything you need to create 64bit apps -- just like 2005 did. Except on 2010, I believe, the cross-compile stuff is installed by default.
