Problem
I'm trying to use the debugger in Visual C++ Express for a 64-bit program. Earlier versions didn't ship with a 64-bit compiler, but version 2012 does, and I think so does 2013, and I can compile my program from the command line just fine. However within the IDE, the project build options only mention the possibility of 32-bit builds. Is there a way to get the IDE to support 64-bit builds so as to be able to use the debugger?
