MS Visual C++ 2010 using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005 compiler

[EDN Admin]

<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size:11pt Ive been in VB .Net lately, so Im a little rusty on my C++. Im beginning development to customize the interface of a vendor tool via their APIs. The compiler they require is
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005. When I attempt to build their simple "check if Im set up properly" app, I get the following errors:
<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size:11pt Error 1 error LNK1112: module machine type X86 conflicts with target machine type x64 C:Usersgettyjodocumentsvisual studio 2010ProjectsProTOOLKITInstallProTOOLKITInstallTestInstall.obj 1 1 ProTOOLKITInstall<br/>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size:11pt Error 2 error U1077: "Crogram Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCbinlink.EXE" : return code 0x458 C:Usersgettyjodocumentsvisual studio 2010ProjectsProTOOLKITInstallProTOOLKITInstallNMAKE ProTOOLKITInstall<br/>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size:11pt Error 3 error MSB3073: The command "nmake /f make_install dll" exited with code 2. Crogram Files (x86)MSBuildMicrosoft.Cppv4.0Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 38 6 ProTOOLKITInstall<br/>
<br/>
So, am I stuck trying to dig up an old copy of VS, or is there a way to compile my projects as VC++ .NET 2005 in VS 2010?
