How to build 64-bit application for 6-bit platform

[Ed]

Hello, dear guys,
I am a little confused.
My host is 32-bit Windows XP, and my IDE is VS2005 Professional
Edition.
Also, there is a Win32 VC project.
Now, I want to rebuild this project in 64-bit mode for 64-bit
platform. From the MSDN, the Professional Edition support 64-bit
build. But I don't know how to configure it in VS2005.

The MSDN have said something about 64-bit build, but not clear
enough.
How to: Configure Visual C++ Projects to Target 64-Bit Platforms.
I create a new Solution Platform "x64", but the project configuration
does not change into IA64, etc.

Could you give me some hints? How can I do it.

Did you installed x64 support when installed Visual Studio 2005? It does
not install in default installations, you need to select it from Visual
C++ option.
