On a weblog I saw that we can Patch the devenv.exe to support 2+ GB memory, the problem is that for me it says editbin command is not found. so I am not sure what am I missing.
I have Win7 64 bit and VS 2010 and I have only installed C# and not C++ .

here is the weblog: http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/04/29/hacking-visual-studio-to-use-more-than-2gigabytes-of-memory.aspx

and here is the command it says we should run:

 editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE devenv.exe

Has anybody done this before?

    According to Microsoft’s EDITBIN reference the command can only be run from within Visual Studio itself. You’ll have to make a copy of devenv.exe to work against. I don’t know why it would have this limitation, since it appears earlier versions did not.

    Note

    You can start this tool only from the Visual Studio command
    prompt. You cannot start it from a system command prompt or from
    Windows Explorer.
