In C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\${Intellij Idea version}\bin
, there is an executable called idea64.exe
. This is for 64-bit systems. You can simply change your IntelliJ shortcut path to it.
You also need to add a new environment variable IDEA_JDK_64
pointing to your 64-bit JDK so IntelliJ can use a 64-bit JDK.
idea64.exe uses this JDK search sequence:
IDEA_JDK_64
environment variable..\jre64
directory- system Registry
JDK_HOME
environment variableJAVA_HOME
environment variable
