Create a the missing x64 solution platform in VS project
I have a c++ shell extension VS 2008 project that I want to migrate from Win32 to x64 bits since I have switched to a windows 7 x64 version.
I go to Configuration manager, I click Active solution platform, then New and i get the New Solution Platform window with the followings:
and
In this tutorial it says that that I Should do:
- In the Active Solution Platform drop-down list, select the option to open the New Solution Platform dialog box. (Which I have)
- In the Type or select the new platform drop-down list, select a 64-bit platform. (Which I don't have).
Q1. How do I cope with this? Q2. What is the relation between Solution Platform and Project Platform ?
Solution
To target x64 targets with VS2008 you must install the x64 compilers, they are not installed by default. Other options would be using VS2010 or newer.
