Is there a simple way to compile a 64 bit app with Visual C++ Express 2010? What configurations, if any, are necessary?

+2  A: 

64-bit tools are not available on Visual C++ Express by default. To enable 64-bit tools on Visual C++ Express, install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) in addition to Visual C++ Express. Otherwise, an error occurs when you attempt to configure a project to target a 64-bit platform using Visual C++ Express.

Is it that easy? No registry editing or ini-editing?
