Sorry to bring back closed PR to life, but is there a way to setup it to run x64 prompt by default? I still have my custom profile which calls vcvars64.bat. It is nice addition, but well unless you want to build 32-bit binaries it is kind of useless :)

Let's file a new issue at this point to represent adding preferences to the profile generator like which architecture is prioritized. Thanks!

So, the way I found to do it is to edit the profile generated by this generator and add -DevCmdArguments "-arch=x64 -host_arch=x64" or something to the Enter-VsDevShell arguments, or add -arch ... directly to the vsdevcmd.cmd arguments.
