   Express Edition C++ 2010 64-bit
  Has anyone been able to setup express(2010) for 64-bit?Can't get this to work.Target 64-Bit Platforms  Is it possible?Or should I wait for next SDK?Next SDK  Quote site:I want to use Visual C++ 2010 Express. Should I install the Windows SDK v7.1?If you install Visual C++ 2010 Express, the Windows headers and libraries in that product are already up to date. However, the Windows SDK v7.1 includes more tools than are delivered with Visual C++2010. If you want to install an SDK component that is not included with Visual C++ 2010 Express, such as the Windows Samples or 64-bit native compilers/CRT, you may wish to download and install WinSDK v7.1. You can use the Web setup utility to install only the components you need. Web setup allows you to install selected components of the SDK without having to download the entire SDK.   
  AFAIK express editions do not support x64 by default. There is a way to work around it, I think, there was a post about it I think here the other day.   ;  If I've read it correct the new SDK will include the x64 compiler.   ;  The official instructions didn't work with VC++ Express 2008 either. After installing the Windows SDK, you had to do some manual registry tweaks:http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/These don't work for VC++ Express 2010, because the registry keys in question don't exist any more (at least, I couldn't find them).   ;Quote:Original post by KidsLoveSatanIf I've read it correct the new SDK will include the x64 compiler.Yup looks like you will have to wait for, WinSDK v7.1, since 2010 express version currently available for download, don't include it.;  Nope, turns out not supported.Express_EditionNew SDK most likely wont change that.   ;Quote:Original post by Jacob JingleNope, turns out not supported.Express_EditionNew SDK most likely wont change that.You're looking at the features comparison page, the Express Editions don't have the x64 compiler. You can still use the x64 compiler from the SDK, I have in the past.   ;Quote:Original post by KidsLoveSatanYou're looking at the features comparison page, the Express Editions don't have the x64 compiler.

[And I don't hold high hopes that the next SDK will add it]
