Hi Folks:

I've been using Visual Studio 2008 Pro for the last couple of years,
and always thought of it as a full featured product.

Last week I added a Win7 Ultimate/64 boot partition. I don't need
64 bits, but I'd like to be able to use more memory.

I then installed VS 2008 Pro, taking the time to actually look at
the EULA, which I interpret as allowing only one use at a time, which I
believe allows me to install it in the Win7/64 partition while keeping
it in my XP partition in the same machine.

I expected VS 2008 Pro, installed in a 64 bit environment, to offer
a method to specify a 64 bit build. I haven't found anything like that.

I don't need to build 64 bit apps right now, but I'm wondering about
my options.

Can I build 64 bit apps with VS 2008 Pro? How about VS 2010 Pro?

Thanks
Larry

You didn't specify which language. In VB.Net (and probably also C#), you
just have to enter the configuration manager and add a new configuration
targetting a 64-bit plattform, or use "Any CPU". You don't need VS 2010
for this.

Thank you Armin:

I'm developing C++ code.

That works great.

For C++ projects, follow the steps on this site:

Remember that the 64bit compiler isn't installed by default.

I think its installed by default in VS 2010.
