64 bit visual studio not available on website spark

I have a website spark account that I find very beneficial.

I run a 64 bit PC and looking to download visual studio 2012 from website spark - but the 32bit (X86) is only available. Any idea why 64 bit isn't available or when it might be available?

There's no 64bit version of Visual Studio because it uses a combination of 32bit and 64bit DLLs as it needs in respect to programs you are developing (and debugging). You can install it on both 32bit and 64bit systems and will work.

Not on spark sites, not anywhere.

The Visual Studio team has decided not to produce one, as the overheads and complication of having a 64bit version outweighed the benefits.

The 32bit version will work just fine.

The 32-bit version will work fine on 64-bit systems.
