[analog-help] Availability of Windows 64 bit binary

[Nick Altmann]

Thanks for the quick reply.

FWIW Wikipedia indicates there might be a chance of compiling a 64-bit
binary with the free version:

"The Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition ... However, natively compiling
64-bit<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit>applications through the
IDE is not supported. If the freely available Windows
SDK <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_SDK> is installed, 64-bit
applications can be built on the command line using the x64 cross-compiler (
Cl.exe) supplied with the SDK."
