64bit - How to compile a 64-bit application using Visual C++ 2010 Express? -


Is there an easy way to compile 64bit apps with 32-bit versions of Visual C ++ 2010 Express? What configuration, if any, is necessary?

Here are step-by-step instructions:

  1. Windows software Download and install the Development Kit version 7.1. Visual C ++ 2010 Express does not include the 64 bit compiler, but SDK does have a link for SDK:
  2. Change your project configuration Visit the properties of your project At the top of the dialog box, click on a "Configuration" Drop-down menu. Make sure to select "All Configuration". There will also be a "platform" drop down which will read "Win32". Finally there is a "Configuration Manager" button on the right - Press it in the dialog that appears, find your project, press the platform drop-down, select new, then choose X64 Now select the "Active Solutions Platform" drop-down menu "x64 "In When you return to the Properties dialogue box, the "Platform" drop-down should now be read "x64".
  3. Finally, change your toolset. In the Properties menu of your project, under the Configuration Properties. Change the Platform Toolset from Normal, "v100" to "Windows7.1SDK".

These steps have worked for me, anyway. Some other information on Step 2 can be found in Microsoft's reference, which was mentioned in the previous poster.
