I believe you need the 7.1 SDK. 7.0 does not come with the
64-bit
toolset. I'm not certain about the paths in an Express/7.1
setup.
FYI, the 7.1 SDK is a downloadable SDK, it's not included with
any version
of Visual Studio.
7.0 and 7.0A (included with VS2008, 2010) certainly do have
64bit libs.
The x64 compiler was available since VS2005 (I don't remember
the lib path).
VS2008 uses the 'Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0', and VS2010 uses
'Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0A'.
The 7.1 package that you can download if obviously in 'Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.1'.
VS2012 was the first to support Windows 8 and the 'metro' API,
and for some
reason they messed around with the traditional lib paths.
The new location is the weird 'Windows Kits\8.0'.
I was referring only to VS 2010 Express which does not include a
compiler/linker capable of building 64 bit code. You can get
them with the 7.1 SDK though.
