How to test application
<p>I am trying to test my static library that i used to build in win xp 32bit. So, I made a test application that utilizes the static lib to print out a code. </p>

<p>Now, i wanted to see its behavior on a 64 bit OS. How do i go about doing that?
Do i need to install vs2008 on that one and create my test application on it then port my static lib and build it there? Or is there a way where i can just port my existing application exe and static lib to a 64 bit machine?</p>

<p>Also is it true that on a 64 bit OS i need to have a 32bit app in order to run a static lib that was created in a 32bit environment?</p>

<p>The goal is to check to see if my static lib would work in a 64bit environment. Also, please note they will be installing this static lib on multiple computers so I do not expect any network access per se.</p>

<p>The one API that i am giving to them uses <code>const char *</code> as an input parameter since I use strings internally. Not sure if I need to create an optional parameter of <code>__int64</code> and then convert that to a string internally as well. </p>
