Hi Martin, we are using the Professional Editions of MS Visual Studio 2008/2010. We have had a few tries with the Express Editions which worked with mixed successes (ranging from "basically everything" to "mostly" ). Personally I have not tried them so I would be grateful if somebody successfully working with any of the express editions chips in.
That aside, some suggestions that might help you: - A guide to compiling Qt for 64 Bit (aimed MSVC 2010, but you more or less only need to switch some variables) [1] - A qt creator 64 Bit for windows (I have not tried it, so I do not know how well it works) [2] - A question about building qt 64 Bit [3] Maybe someone else care to comment on some of the pitfalls installing the Windows SDK?

First of all thanks for reply. I think I found the mistake, but I'm still stuck... I use Win7 64bit, but I now read, that Qt and everything builds for 32bit as default, and that this is not good. I followed these instructions to get VS working as 64bit: http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/ So I installed Windows SDK 7.1 (for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 as my system is). To configure it, I opened the Windows SDK command prompt, switched to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup and typed WindowsSdkVer.exe -version:v7.1 It said something like Visual Studio 2008 now uses Windows SDK, so that should have worked. The instructions contain a paragraph "VC2008 Express installed on a 64-bit operating system ", where it says I should find the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0\VC\bin\eamd64 for the 64bit-compiler. I found the VC key, but it only contains VC_OBJECT_PLATFORM_INFO with Win32 as the only subkey. Did I miss something when installing the Windows SDK? To answer the questions: No, I haven't built anything big on this laptop before, but since it is less than a year old, I don't think that this really is an issue. The .exe seems to work, but I need to create a plugin in C++ later on, therefore I need to get it done with Visual Studio. Yes, I first tried to open the MITK-superbuild.sln with VS2010 and build the ALL_BUILD, but it crashed there, that's why I'm now trying to build separately. The very first time I tried to build it, it worked about 1 or 2 hours and produced 30k lines of output, then it crashed. It was after I inserted the battery to connect the plug to another power socket, so it ran on battery for some seconds. I usually have no problems with the battery. Could there still have went something so wrong, that it now won't build it at all ...? And another question: Do you agree, that VS2008 Express is better supported than VS2010 Express? Or is this information out of date and meanwhile it is better to use VS2010 Express?
