MsBuild.TypeScript uses Node 32bit by default #32733
Description
I tried to use MSBuild.Typescript and discover that it uses only 32bit version of Node.
This is written in Microsoft.TypeScript.targets
<NodePath Condition="'$(OS)' == 'Windows_NT' AND Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs\\node.exe')">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs</NodePath>
But in this path we have win-x64 directory with 64bit version node.exe.
Is it correct? When I use node from cmd I use 64bit Node

Correct. 32-bit Node tends to be faster than 64-bit.

So could you help to resolve my problem?
I can build my project on the local environment (my PC) but when I try to build my project on the build server (with windows server 2008) I have a problem with memory for node. After use google, I discovered that if I set NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 and use 64bit Node it resolve my problem. But it all seems very strange to me.

It sounds like you were able to find the solution. Is there anything else we can help clarify?

I think in the future I will use NPM package for tsc.js. That's all, thank.
