Getting 32-bit application to use more than 2GB on 64-bit Windows 7?

Question

I'm trying to get a 32-bit app to be able to use more than 2GB on my 64-bit edition of Windows 7 Ultimate. Currently, it crashes when it hits 2GB. I've heard there're ways to move this up to 3GB in 32-bit editions of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Setting increaseuserva doesn't seem to work. (I have 4GB installed. If you're wondering, it's Dwarf Fortress.)

Answer 1

According to this MSDN page the maximum address space for a 32-bit process is 4Gb on 64bit Windows 7. But, this requires the process to have the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag set.

Setting IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE is more of a problem, as it has to be done at the linking stage when compiling the software. See another MSDN page for a bit more info.
