Visual Studio 2015 express missing amd64 option

I have a problem with Visual Studio 2015 Express that it seems to be missing files needed to setup the environment for a 64 bit compilation.

I have installed both Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10 and Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop. Now when I call the vcvarsall.bat with the option amd64 to setup the environment for a 64bit compilation I get the error message:

"The specified configuration type is missing. The tools for the configuration might not be installed."

I check in my installations folder and I have vcvarsall.bat in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC but I'm missing vcvars64.bat in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64 which seems to be required. What am I missing?

The application icon will no longer be in the Visual Studio 2015 folder. If you still can not find Visual Studio after a successful installation, open File Explorer, and then navigate to the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

Visual Studio Express editions do not include the x64 toolset.

If you only need the 64 bit compiler I recommend to install the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. However, you can't install it together with Visual Studio 2015 Express.
