Hi I am new to visual studio editor.
I have an mfc dialog based application that runs good in x86 machine
32 bit processor.I want that application to be build for x64
machine.My new machine is a 64 bit amd processor and x64 edition of
windows xp.
Initally I tried the old build(x86 build )in x64 edition.My
application doesnt give the required results.so I wanted to build the
application for x64 edition.
steps carried:
1.changed the Target Machine in project->properties->configuration
properties->linker->Advanced
to Machine:x64
2.Modified all the paths in tools->options->projects and solutions->vc
directories.
I modified most of the paths.I changed the amd64(whichever is
possible)
I tried running my application after these modifications.
I get the following error
Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'E:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe'.
when I ran my depends.exe in my system it seems that cL.exe depends on
some dlls.Those dlls processor types are x86.
I am building the exe in x86 machine 32 bit processor.

Thanks in Advance
