You need to choose x64 instead of Any CPU. Try it and see if it works.

Yeah we should probably add the "x64" part to the README. For programmers with only .NET background, "Any CPU" is way more natural than "x64". However, WT is a Win32 native project and can not be build with "Any CPU" configuration.

This is probably only a problem now that #6441 merged and there's an AnyCPU target that VS will default to, isn't it 😕

Nah; there's been an AnyCPU target since the WPF Terminal control landed last year. 😄
