Does IntelliJ IDEA work on a 64-bit Windows system?
Solution 1
In C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\${Intellij Idea version}\bin
, there is an executable called idea64.exe
. This is for 64-bit systems. You can simply change your IntelliJ shortcut path to it.
You also need to add a new environment variable IDEA_JDK_64
pointing to your 64-bit JDK so IntelliJ can use a 64-bit JDK.
idea64.exe uses this JDK search sequence:
-
IDEA_JDK_64
environment variable -
..\jre64
directory - system Registry
-
JDK_HOME
environment variable -
JAVA_HOME
environment variable
More can be found in a related IntelliJ support article.
Solution 2
If installing latest version as of today 2016.3.2, while installing the installation wizard prompts to either choose 32-bit or 64-bit.

I have downloaded and installed IDEA 13.1. However, even having a 64-bit system, Windows has automatically installed the program in the folder
Program Files (x86)
, which is dedicated for 32-bit programs.Is there another download for the 64-bit version or maybe a special setting to make it suitable for a 64-bit system?

andi over 8 yearsLink sends me to a login page. It appears you need a JetBrains account to be able to "find more". Not pleasant...
