Afterreading this page, I installed "Universal Windows Platform workload" hoping to get access to a 64-bit version of CL.exe. But no change when compiling my project, and I can't see a single option in visual studio to choose compiler version.
How to know it is not 64-bit: Once you download Visual Studio and click the install button, you will see that the initialization folder it selects automatically is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
So in order to answer this fully I want you to remember old days. Imagine reasons for "why not we see 64bit Windows" are there at the time. I think at the time for Windows64 they had exact same reasons others have enlisted here about "reasons why not 64bit VS on windows" were on "reasons why not 64bit Windows" too. Then why they did start development for Windows 64bit? Simple! If they didn't succeed in making 64bit Windows I bet M$ would have been a history nowadays. If same reasons forcing M$ making 64bit Windows starts to appear on need for 64Bit VS then I bet we will see 64bit VS, even though very same reasons everyone else here enlisted will stay same! In time the limitations of 32bit may hit VS as well, so most likely something like below start to happen:
I put my bets on Visual Studio Code taking the place in time; I guess bifurcation point for it will be some CPU manufacturer X starts to compete x86_64 architecture taking its place on mainstream market for laptop and/or workstation,
I want to thank every upvote for keeping this answer. As a thank you I want to add one more prediction: I still believe the trend will lean towards VSCode in time while VSCode forks or turns-into something like Eclipse Theia. Most probably they will give full support on cloud platforms with that. Especially for enterprises that will add great value and for the marketing sake I cannot find any better excuse about "move your onprem into the Azure" stuff. Anyhow seems we are correct about: Why Visualstudio was not 64 bit while it should be 64bit long ago,
Visual Studio enables you to set up your applications to target different platforms, including 64-bit platforms. For more information on 64-bit platform support in Visual Studio, see 64-bit applications.
PROBLEM SOLVED in meantime. I solved my problem by downloading Microsoft SDK 7.1 and updates, and by making a file vcvars64.bat in the amd64 directory. Compiled and linked my programme - all OK. Peter
I have purchased Intel Parallel Studio and want to install it on a 64-bit machine for 64-bit appliations. While installing, it says that Visual Studio lacks a 64-bit C++ compiler and libraries. This is true. Under the ...\\VC\\bin directory a directory amd64 should be present, but it isn't. Therefore I can compile but not link my programme (from the command line, in the appropriate DOS window). Does this mean that after purchasing Intel Parallel Studio I also will have to purchase the very expensive full Visual Studio before I can do anything useful?
Thanks for your suggestions, Peter

My main issue with Studio 2017 is that it gets very slow with big projects, or when I want to go from the Editor View to Project or File view to open another project. It can take from one to two minutes to perform this action.
Hi,
Thank you for your comments, I have added them to the to the Jira task.
Note that Studio is flagged largeaddressaware so can use up to 4GB per running instance. Do you find that you are having issues with projects approaching 4gb, they would be quite large.
If users are hitting the 4gb limit we need to bump the priority.
I am facing the same problem. My machine is 32 GB RAM and i9 Dell XPS but the SDL has crashed 4 times in last 6 hrs. The files are only 60,000 words. Please update the SDL to 64 bit if it stopping it from using it to the fullest specs of the Machine.
The file size should not matter so much, I used to open bigger files in Studio even prior to the current version. Try to exclude other problems like virus scanner, admin rights, file system speed and alike.
Hi,
Same problem for me. Quad Core with hyperthreading, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD disk, I'm full admin.
It's not necessary to reach the 4 GB limit in memory. At about 2,5 GB (as Task Manager says), Trados 2019 raises this error message.
In my own case (an 800 kwords project), I ask Trados to save the project, and it raises the error. Backing to the Edtor view. Close all: "do you want to save... ?" Yes.
It starts it, seems to reach the end, but doesn't complete. Error message and back to the Editor view.
Only solution: "do you want to save ?" No!
All the changes are lost.
The next launch, I expect having the ability to restore intermediate saved files, but none is proposed nor available. Luckilly, the memories are partially saved, and then Ctrl-T, then Enter.
Well, well, well...
One workaround I have found is to monitor the task manager while I work, and, as soon as Trados reaches a little over 2 GB, I save, close everything and relaunch Trados.
What a waste of time! But it seems to work, for a while.
Second workaround: reopened the same project in Trados 2017. This one seems to use less temporary resources than 2019.
As Jerzy Czopik sayd, it doesn't depend on the file sizes. It depends on certains resources managed by Trados.
As the projects grow and grow more, as the features embedded in Trados are growing too, the "step to 64-bit" seems to become essential.
Roll on the 64-bit version!
I wouldn't totally agree with Amit Aryan about using the plain power of the machine (bcs. it's sometimes usefull to have two or more instances of Trados on the same machine), but certainly to go beyond the current limits.
It's not difficult to do what you have suggested, but simply doing that will not make Studio faster. It will only allow it to use more memory. To really optimise Studio the code needs optimising first and these improvements can be obtained while on 32-bit. The development teams are working on these optimisations but they are not trivial or they would have been completed a long time ago. Moving to 64-bit may help in some situations when processing very large files, but we really need to address a lot more than this before making this change.
I can't really tell you more than this, as this is all I have gathered from discussions with the teams. But for sure nobody other than the development team really knows what's involved here and trivialising it doesn't really help anyone.
Seen from that perspective, I suppose the vast majority of all users will not care about 32 or 64 bit. What matters is a stable and reliable software. A software, where all functions work as expected. So I fully agree with you. Before SDL releases Studio 2009 in 64 bit (and I really mean 2009... you certainly understand why), we better let the developers fix the current Studio to be a perfect software.

SQL Server Management Studio is a 32-bit application - and therefore requires the 32-bit version of the drivers for Office based applications. However, many are now installing the 64-bit version of Office and that doesn't provide the correct driver.
Option 1 is a bit of overkill for a client machine - and option 2 will fail if the 64-bit driver is already installed. However, you can install the 32-bit version side-by-side by installing it using the command line with the appropriate qualifier. Depending on the version of the driver you are attempting to install - that will be either the /quiet or /passive qualifier.
Installing SSDT does not install the Office (ACE) driver either - and since SSDT is also a 32-bit application it also will require the 32-bit version of the ACE driver, and as stated above - Office x64 installs the 64-bit version.
Of course, you could also just uninstall Office x64 and install Office x86 - but that would not be my recommendation. Especially since there is an easy way to resolve the issue by installing the 32-bit ACE driver.
SSMS is available only as a 32-bit application for Windows. If you need a tool that runs on operating systems other than Windows, we recommend Azure Data Studio. Azure Data Studio is a cross-platform tool that runs on macOS, Linux, as well as Windows.
By default a program wanted to be installed in Program Files (x86). I'm guessing that means that it is a 32-bit version. I had to get it to talk to an Oracle database and to get that working I eventually reinstalled it in a directory path which didn't have brackets "(" and ")" in it, as that was causing a problem. I've also installed both 64-bit and 32-bit Oracle clients.
