Visual Studio 2019 using 32-bit FileTracker with 64-bit toolset

505 views Asked by At

I am building a C++ project with VS 2019 for a 64-bit debug configuration and using the 64-bit toolset (Preferred tool architecture = 64-bit in project properties), but VS calls FileTracker32.dll when linking:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Tracker.exe /a /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\FileTracker\ FileTracker32.dll" ...

Why is this the case? As a background, the motivation for this question is that for larger projects with many libs the linking step lasts very long and I'm wondering if this is not due to the fact that a 32-bit process handles it.
