I am currently trying to build a project for a 64 bit computer, but the configuration manager doesn't list 64 bit as an option. It gives me Win32, but no x64 (under "Platform"). I am using Visual Studio 2010 C++ Express.
It works on my other computer, but not this one. Most everything I have read has been saying to go up to the "Active Solution platform" drop down, and add 'x64' to it. I have tried that, but it still only lists Win32.
From the Visual Studio menu, choose Test, then choose Processor Architecture for AnyCPU projects. Choose x64 to run the tests as a 64-bit process.
To enable x64 as a CPU platform targetClick Configuration Manager. In the Configuration Manager dialog, open the Active solution platform drop-down list box and click <New> …. In the New Solution Platform dialog, select x64 in the Type or select the new platform drop-down list box.
Open the 32-bit project in Visual Studio 2008. In the file menu, click Build and select Configuration Manager. Pull down the drop-down under “Active solution platform” which currently displays “Win32” and select New. In the drop-down for “Type or select the new platform”, select “x64”.
Select the Configuration Manager as given by the following picture.
The Select "New" from the menu as given by the following picture.
After that you will populate with following dialog box.
Once the process is completed, you will get the "x64" platform settings. Now you can select the Platform via Configuration Manager.
