Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Platform toolset setting in VS2010

[Richard C. <rco...@ba...>]

For those of using then free edition of Visual C++ 2010, installing the
Windows 7 SDK was a prerequisite for getting 64-bit compiler support. The
SleuthKit team did not explicitly set the Platform Toolset property value;
it is my understanding that it is set when one does the following, as
described in BUILDING.txt:

Visual Studio 2010 Express cannot make 64-bit versions of the
executables. To do that, you must download and install an additional SDK:

The SDK installation may fail, particularly if Visual Studio 2010 Service
Pack 1 has been installed. In this case, re-run the SDK installer but
un-check the compilers box. After the SDK is installed, run the following
fix to get the 64 bit compiler:
