Both 32-bit and 64-bit builds are possible with the Microsoft Compiler suite.
32-bit PostgreSQL buils are possible with

64-bit PostgreSQL builds are supported with

==========
This directory contains the tools required to build PostgreSQL using
-Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - 2017. This builds the whole backend, not just
+Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 - 2019. This builds the whole backend, not just
the libpq frontend library. For more information, see the documentation
chapter "Installation on Windows" and the description below.
It does this by using VSObjectFactory::CreateSolution to create an object
implementing the Solution interface (this could be either a VS2005Solution,
a VS2008Solution, a VS2010Solution or a VS2012Solution or a VS2013Solution,
-or a VS2015Solution or a VS2017Solution, all in Solution.pm, depending on
-the user's build environment) and adding objects implementing the corresponding
-Project interface (VC2005Project or VC2008Project from VCBuildProject.pm or
-VC2010Project or VC2012Project or VC2013Project or VC2015Project or VC2017Project
-from MSBuildProject.pm) to it.

When Solution::Save is called, the implementations of Solution and Project
save their content in the appropriate format.
