Visual Studio Express on 64bit OS

I am having trouble compiling with Visual Studio Express 2008 on Vista-64bit.

I read that I must configure VS to compile for 64-bit but I did not have this option because that option is only available with the commercial version. I cannot find anything about getting the express version to compile 64-bit builds.

At the moment I get the error message: "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect."

Sorry if this is in the incorrect place, I was unsure where to post it.

I do not believe the exress edition compiles 64-bit.

Remember, the express edtion is a free version intended for students. It can't even do a solution. And I think is it restricted to 32-bits.

I am a student, just not in computer science yet ):

I think I am barking up the wrong tree anyway; I had trouble running some projects that compiled perfectly fine so I thought it had something to do with me being on a 64-bit OS. I just tried a simple Hello World console application and it compiled and ran perfectly fine. I think it's to do with Win32.

Thank you though.

Keep in mind that the 64-bit Windows runs 32-bit code using WOW.

I expect you have a 32-bit executable running on a 64-bit machine.
