Compiling x64 with Rust on Windows

Question

I am trying to compile x64 on Windows with Rust.

I have set: rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

With the following program

fn main() { println!("{}", std::usize::MAX); }

cargo run prints out 4294967295

but cargo run --target --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc gives me:

error[E0463]: can't find crate for 'std'
  |
  = note: the 'x86_64-pc-windows-msvc' target may not be installed

Also x86_64-pc-windows-msvc is in rustc --print target-list

I have no idea what to do...

This was fixed by uninstalling a rust nightly build found using rustc --print sysroot and reinstalling latest stable build.
