64bit support for Visual Studio 2012 C++ (MSVC 11.0)

The Visual Studio 2012 install seems to be the only one where the 64bit support (amd64) for the VC compiler is missing.
Are there any plans to add this?

(I am using a matrix build over all five available MSVC versions and both x86 and x64 platforms, and the mentioned combination is the only one that fails.)

    Sorry - this should actually read:
    64bit support for Visual Studio C++ up to 2012, i.e. for the toolchain versions 9.0 (VS 2008), 10.0 (VS 2010) and 11.0 (VS 2012).
    Some of those have %VS%\VC\bin\amd64 directories, but these installations are definitely incomplete.

    Hi Ralph,

    For VS 2013 and VS 2015 we have Community editions installed which have full C++ support. However, for VS 2012 there is Express edition installed with limited C++ support.
