How Do I Run IntelliJ IDEA 9 as a 64-bit Process?

64-bit, intellij-idea, java

Solution

This post might help. It mentions using an `idea64.exe` launcher on Windows.

Problem

I've noticed that IntelliJ IDEA 9 runs as a 32-bit process in Windows 2003 x64 and would like to configure it to run as a 64-bit process. I did find an article about how to perform this in Mac OSX, but not in Windows. Update #1: I have the 64-bit version of JDK 1.6.18 installed.
