VS2010: Compile a C++ Project in 64 bit

Question

I want to compile a C++ DLL in 64 bin using Visual Studio 2010 Express. I know how to use the configuration manager in C#. Just select x64 as target platform and compile. But in C++, there is only "Win32" available as target.

How can I compile a x64 bit DLL?

I see. Sorry about that. Have only used professional myself. — rasmus, Feb 15 '12 at 19:18

Visual C++ Express does not include 64-bit tools by default. You can install Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) to get them.
