I have Windows 7 x64 Pro edition and installed VS 2012 Ultimate Update 2 - everything is running fine - I have created several apps in C++, compiled fine - now I need to compile a dll in x64 - I get runtime errors saying I cannot run a 32 bit application in a x64 environment. When I try to do this - I cannot get the x64 option (only win32) - I can get "all applications" - but there is no "all platforms". I looked at the Windows SDK - it is only under Programs x86 (I assume this is all 32 bit). How do I get the compiler (or cross-compiler) to allow 64 bit compiles.

My app looks at the osArch to determine the x64 or x86 - I have the 32 bit in sysWOW - but not sure I want to "drop through" and try to run in 32 bit mode.

Anyone know this trick? - the SDK no longer ships with the compilers - according to the info pages. So how or where do I get the compiler option for x64?
