POMissing Visual Studio features when running in 64-bit mode

copied!<p>Can someone tell me why I don't have all of the dev studio windows available to me when I develop on a 64-bit platform? I upgraded my dev desktop box to server 2003 x64 to match our deployment platform. Since then (I'm using VS2005) I've noticed that several windows aren't available. I can't view Processes (which is the most annoying) so I don't know which processes I'm attached to. I can attach to a process fine, but it won't show me what is already running under the debugger. There are others, but that's the one that sticks out in my mind at the moment.</p> <p>My question is where are these limitations of developing under 64 bit documented (assuming they are)? (Of course, I also get the "Edit/Continue" warning dialog all the time telling me that doesn't work in 64-bit)</p> <p>Also, is VS2008 any better under 64 bit?</p> <p>Follow-up: Apparently my question is a little bit vague. I'm developing a 64-bit app on a 64-bit development environment. "Recompile it in x86" doesn't solve my problems. </p> <p>Follow-up #2: I'm giving it one more shot. I WANT TO DEBUG A 64 BIT PROGRAM ON A 64 BIT ENVIRONMENT AND I DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE VISUAL STUDIO FEATURES SHOWING UP. HOW DO I GET THEM?</p> <p>Follow-up #3: I just installed XP 64 (previously I was using Server 2003 64-bit) and those features all showed up again (Process window, etc). Apparently the server version of windows doesn't provide all of the dev features.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me why?</p>
