title: Visual C++ 2010 Express x64 assembly
body: <p>I was about to start learning x64 assembly using <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guru397zg2g&amp;list=FLhFj6qyNPRfheoDGPZHSIDg&amp;index=3&amp;feature=plpp_video" rel="nofollow">this</a> tutorial (series) but setting up Visual C++ Express just isn't working. I Have the x64 version installed and I even downloaded and installed <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3138" rel="nofollow">the windows 7 SDK.</a></p>
  
  <p>However even after installing this package I still don't have the option to select the x64 platform in the configuraion manager (watch the tutorial to see what I mean, its at approx. 4:00)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried restarting C++, but that doesn't work either. Whilst there are much sources on how to make the x64 compiler working they all explain the same steps which are the ones I did.</p>
  
  <p>The only thing I can think of is either re-installing c++ or rebooting. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Rebooting doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT 2: trying the <a href="http://%28http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8279%29" rel="nofollow">.net 4.0 Windows 7 SDK</a> now... -> <strong>doesn't enable the x64 compiler even though it is installed (if the installer is to be believed)</strong></p>
