I used the full version (MSDN ISO image) upgrade wasn’t an option.

In fact, I’m pretty sure the only difference between the two is that the upgrade looks for a previous version of the OS.

Can’t speak to what’s on the disk.

So did you use Windows 7 upgrade to do this, or was it the full version of Windows 7? Also, do you know if the upgrade version comes with both 32 & 64 bit versions on the same disk, or are they separate disks altogether?

Yep, I just ran into that this morning.

Trust me, the performance improvement in VS under 64bit MORE than makes up for this minor inconvenience.

I have heard that edit and continue was not working in Visual Studio under a 64 bit OS, is that still true?
