Windows Desktop/Windows module/VS 2017: 32 or 64 bit export?

I have the Desktop Windows export module (not the UWP module) and my OS is Windows 10 64 bit.

Are the exported exe files 32 or 64 bit applications?
Is there a coherence between the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars32.bat
\vcvars32.bat or vcvars64.bat "Windows Platform Settings" and the exported exe,
so if I set vcvars32.bat the exe is 32 bit and if I set vcvars64.bat the exe is 64 bit?

Or can I only export 64 bit exe's with an 64 bit Windows and only 32 bit exe's with a 32 bit Window?

Or how can I change between 32 and 64 bit export?

Or can the community version of Visual Studio only export 32 bit exe's?
A sign for this is that it was installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) path.
But is it possible that a VS of 2017 can not export 64 bit exe's???

32-bit only at the moment. YYG have plans to allow you to compile 64-bit executables.

GMS2 doesn't run at all on 32-bit versions of Windows, so that is definitely not the case.

Or how can I change between 32 and 64 bit export?
That functionality is not available. Only 32-bit executables can be compiled until YYG add an option to compile as 64-bit executables.
