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?

Regards,
Caspar

Hi Caspar!

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?

Best Regards,
Martin
