I'm trying to build a C++ project with a build configuration platform of x64. It's on a new machine running a 64 bit Windows Server 2008. When I open the build configuration manager in VS, I can't chose or create the x64 platform and the project gets skipped. When I try to build it with MSBuild I get the error: VCBLD0004: Project 'MyProject' does not contain a configuration called 'Debug|x64'

Project is built fine on a different machine, but not on the new one, so I guess I missed something in the installation. Any ideas what to look for?

btw, Problem was that VS (and with it the x64 compilers and tools) was installed after the SDK. Had to uninstall and reinstall the SDK, then run a repair on it, then everything works fine. You can try just the repair as mentioned here: http://cygon.nuclex.org/2008/04/06/visual-studio-2008-professional-no-x64/
