Running/debugging does not work with x64 version of io.js (but does with x86)

[alejandro5042]

I spent a few hours trying to figure out why debugging doesn't work with io.js despite the wiki documentation saying that it should. Turns out you can't use the x64 version. It might launch the first time and run. But you'll never hit a breakpoint or anything. The x86 version works just as you would imagine.

Is this a bug? Expected behavior? Should we update the documentation?

Using:

• io.js 2.3.2 (x86 and x64): https://iojs.org/dist/v2.3.2/
• NTVS 1.1 Beta: https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/releases/view/614706
• Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - Update 4 (non-elevated)

Thank you for this awesome tool!

Definitely a bug, not expected behavior. We should make a note of it in the docs until it's fixed, though.

@alejandro5042 just noticed you're using 1.1 Beta - Have you tried one of our latest dev builds? https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/releases

Unfortunately, I can still reproduce the issue with the 7-15-2015 dev build. When I hit run, my app immediately launches and is up and running before Visual Studio catches up several seconds later and switches to debug mode (with all the tool windows).

Hey, we just added a live diagnostics feature to help us get to the bottom of issues like this that are difficult for us to repro - mind trying it out? More details here: #246 (comment)

I just verified this with the latest bits from io.js and NTVS. Taking a look...
