IntelliTrace debugging is available only for x86 applications

It appears the new IntelliTrace feature of Visual Studio 2010 is only available for x86 applications?!

Don’t ask me, there is an article with more info, but Habib Heydarian shed some light on the workaround here.

It appears to get around this problem, you must set your project to a configuration platform of x86, enabling it to run as a 32-bit process.

You can do this by dropping down the “Solution Platforms” combo usually stating “Any CPU” next to your “Run” option on the menu bar and selecting “Configuration Manager”.  From there it’s just a matter of selecting “Platform” -> “New” and adding a new platform type “x86″ and you’re right to go.  IntelliTrace should now work.

Don’t forget to set this back to “Any CPU” when you are done to target both x64 (64-bit) and x86 (32-bit) platforms.

    Is this true for the RTM as well?
