Hi Benjamin,
See if this helps out at all.
SUMMARY
=======
This step-by-step article describes how to use the Microsoft Visual Studio
IDE to build 64-bit applications while you maintain the same code base for
both 32-bit and 64-bit development. To maintain the same code base, you use
two different build configurations.
Because the native 64-bit IDE is still under
development, no IDE exists for 64-bit development. The current
Software
Development Kit (SDK) includes the compiler, the linker, and other
tools for
64-bit development. The SDK also includes the C-Runtime (CRT)
library, the
Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), and the Active Template Library
(ATL)
versions for 64-bit production.
You can use either the Microsoft Visual
C++ 6.0 or the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET IDE to build 64-bit
applications. This is useful if
you have an existing 32-bit application and you want to migrate it
to a 64-bit
application. This article describes how to perform a 64-bit build
as a
different build configuration of the same project.

Requirements
------------
The following list
outlines the recommended hardware, software, network
infrastructure, and
service packs that you need:
- Microsoft Platform SDK of November 2001 or later
- Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual C++ .NET (2002 or 2003)

Build a 64-Bit Application by Using the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE
----------------------------------------------------------
Set the 64-Bit Build Environment
Variables
To set the 64-bit build environment variables, use either of the following
methods:
- Click "Start", point to "Microsoft Platform SDK", point to "Open
Build Environment Window", point to "Set Windows XP 64 Build
Environment", and then click "Set Windows XP 64 Build Environment
(Debug)". A console window with the build environment set for a 64-bit
build is displayed.
- To set the 64-bit environment variables at the command
prompt, follow these steps:
1. Click "Start", and then click
"Run".
2. Type "command.exe" (without the quotation marks), and then click
"OK".
3. Change the folder to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK,
and then type "SetEnv.bat /XP64" (without the quotation
marks).
#toc: back to the
top
Start Visual C++ 6.0 with a 64-Bit Build Environment
1. In the the same command window where you set the environment
settings for 64-bit SDK, open Visual Studio.
2. Type "Msdev /useenv" (without the quotation marks). Do not open a
new command window to open MSdev.exe.. The Visual C++ 6.0 IDE is
displayed, but the include, the library, and the executable directories
are set for a 64-bit build environment. Note If Msdev.exe is not in the
path, change the folder to the \Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\Msdev98\Bin folder before you run Msdev.exe.
#toc: back to the
top
Add a 64-Bit Debug Configuration
1. In the Visual C++ IDE, open an existing 32-bit project (for example,
MyApplication).
2. On the "Build" menu, click "Configurations".
3. In the "Configurations" dialog box, click "Add".
4. In the "Add Project Configuration" dialog box, set "Configuration"
to Debug64, and then click "MyApplication? Win32 Debug" in the "Copy
Settings from" list.
5. To add the configuration, click "OK", and then click "Close".
#toc: back to the
top
Set the Active Configuration to 64 Bits
1. On the "Build" menu, click " Set Active Configuration".
2. Click "MyApplication- Win32 Debug64", and then click "OK".
#toc: back to the
top
Modify Compiler or Linker Options
Several Visual C++ 6.0 compiler or linker options do not apply to
the 64-bit compiler or to the linker. To modify these options,
follow these steps:
1. On the "Project" menu, click "Settings".
2. In the "Project Settings" dialog box, click the "General" tab. Under
"Output directories", type "Debug64" (without the quotation marks) in
the "Intermediate files" and "Output files" boxes.
3. On the "C/C++" tab, select "Program Database (compiler option, /Zi)"
in the "Debug info" list.
4. On the "Link" tab, change "/machine:I386" (without the quotation
marks) to "/machine:IA64" (without the quotation marks) in the "Project
options" box.
5. On the "View" menu, click "Workspace".
6. To delete the MyApplication.hpj file from the project, click the
"MyApplication.hpj" file in the Workspace window, and then press DEL.
Note This file may already be removed.
7. If your application is an MFC application, you must add an
MFC path to avoid receiving Linkers Tool Error LNK1104 on the
Mfc42d.lib
file. To add an MFC path, follow these steps:
a. On the "Tools" menu, click
"Options".
b. On the "Directories" tab, select
"Library Files" in the "Show directories" list.
Add the "\Microsoft SDK\lib\IA64\mfc" (without the
quotation marks) path if it is not
listed.

top
Build and Then Debug the Project
1. Build the project. Now you have a 64-bit application that is ready
to be deployed to an IA64 computer.
2. To run the .exe file from the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE, follow these
steps:
Note You cannot debug the .exe file from the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE.
a. Create a folder that is named C:\VC6MSVCMON on the
IA64 computer. Copy the following files from the x86
computer to this new
folder:
- Msvcmon.exe
- Dm.dll
- Msdis110.dll
- Tln0t.dllThese files are located in the
\VisualStudio\Common\MSDev98\Bin
folder.
b. After you copy the files, run Msvcmon.exe on the IA64
computer, and then click "Connect".
c. In the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE on the x86 computer, click
"Debugger Remote Connection" on the "Build" menu.
d. In the "Remote Connection" dialog box, click
"Network TCP/IP", and then click "Settings".
e. In the "Target computer name or address"
box, type the name of the IA64 computer. To close the
dialog box, click
"OK" two times.
f. In the Visual Studio C++ IDE, click
"Settings" on the "Project" menu. In the left pane,
expand "MyApplication", and then click the
"Debug" tab. You will notice that the "Executable for
debug session" box contains the path of
MyApplication.exe. This will be
C:\<X86Path>\MyApplication.exe.
g. In the "Remote executable path and file
name" box, type "MyApplication.exe" (without the
quotation marks) with a full path. This full path looks like
"\\<X86ComputerName>\C$\<x86Path>\MyApplication.exe"
(without the quotation marks).
Click "OK" to close the window.
h. To run the .exe file, press CTRL+F5 or click "Execute
MyApplication.exe" on the "Build" menu. The .exe file
runs on
the IA64 computer.
Note If MyApplication is an MFC application and if the project uses
MFC .dll files, make sure that the .dll files are copied from the
\Microsoft
SDK\NoRedist\Win64 folder to the \System32 folder on the IA64
computer. These
are the .dll files:
- Mfc42d.dll
- Mfco42d.dll
- Msvcrtd.dll
This folder also contains the symbols for the MFC, the ATL, and
the MSVCRT debug and release versions.

Build a 64-Bit Application by Using the Visual C++ .NET IDE
------------------------------------------------------------
Warning Do not install the 64-bit version of the WinDbg debugging tool
on the same computer where Visual Studio .NET is installed. For more
information about the 64-bit version of WinDbg,
read the Platform SDK 64-bit Readme. The Readme is located at
C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin\Win64\Readme.doc.
Set the 64-Bit Build Environment
Variables
To set the 64-bit build environment variables, use either of the following
methods:
- Click "Start", point to "Microsoft Platform SDK", point to "Open
Build Environment Window", point to "Set Windows XP 64 Build
Environment", and then click "Set Windows XP 64 Build Environment
(Debug)". A console window with the build environment set for a 64-bit
build is displayed.
- To set the 64-bit environment variables at the command
prompt, follow these steps:
1. Click "Start", and then click
"Run".
2. Type "command.exe" (without the quotation marks), and then click
"OK".
3. Change the folder to the \Microsoft SDK folder, and
then type "SetEnv.bat /XP64" (without the quotation
marks).
#toc: back to the

Start Visual C++ .NET with a 64-Bit Build Environment
1. In the the same command window where you set the environment
settings for 64-bit SDK, open Visual Studio .NET.
2. Type "devenv /useenv" (without the quotation marks), and then click
"OK". The Visual C++ .NET IDE with the include, the library, and the
executable directories set for a 64-bit build environment is displayed.
Note If Devenv.exe is not in the path, change the folder to the
<InstallationFolder>\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE folder
before you run Devenv.exe. Warning After you run this command, every
console window or Visual Studio .NET IDE that you open has the 64-bit
build environment. If you want to clear the environment, delete the
Vccomponents.dat file from the C:\Documents and
Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0 folder before you open a new console
window or a new Visual Studio .NET IDE.

"Properties".
2. In the "C/C++" node, select "General". Set "Debug Information
Format" to "Program Database (compiler option, /Zi)".
3. In the "C/C++" node, select "Code generation". Set "Buffer Security
Check" to "No (compiler option, /GS)".
4. In the "Linker" node, select "Command Line". Under "Additional
Options", add "/MACHINE:IA64" (without the quotation marks).
5. If your application is an MFC application, you must add an
MFC path to avoid receiving Linkers Tool Error LNK1104 on the
Mfc42d.lib
file. To add an MFC path, follow these steps:
a. On the "Tools" menu, click
"Options".
b. Under "Projects", select "VC++
Directories". On the "Show directories" list, select
"Library Files". If it is not listed, add the
"\Microsoft SDK\lib\IA64\mfc" (without the quotation
marks) path. Note If MyApplication is an MFC application and the project
uses MFC .dll
files, make sure that the .dll files are copied from the
\Microsoft
SDK\NoRedist\win64 folder to the \System32 folder on the IA64
computer. These
are the DLLs:
- Mfc42d.dll
- Mfco42d.dll
- Msvcrtd.dllThis folder also contains the symbols for the MFC, ATL, and
MSVCRT debug and release versions.

Build the Project
Build the project. Now you have a 64-bit application that is ready
to be deployed to an IA64 computer.
Note Although you can run the .exe file from Visual C++ 6.0 IDE, you
cannot, you cannot run the .exe file from the
Visual C++ .NET IDE. Also, you cannot debug the .exe file from the
Visual C++ .NET
IDE.
