Since VS Express 2013 now supports 64-bit c++ and it's free, and 64-bit platform is more suited for machine learning applications, why not setting the VS project to build 64-bit targets by default?

With VS2013 Express and the latest snapshot, the following project can be built after just add the add the x64 configuration and remove the Win32 configuration:
Linux support has been 64-bit by default for years. Unfortunately, Microsoft has designed VS Express 2013 to only install on Windows 8, and I don't really want to be a part of forcing people who only have Windows 7 to buy a new operating system. With Microsoft, nothing is really ever free. When VS 2013 is several years old, switching to 64-bit by default will definitely be the right move. Until then, I recommend a non-proprietary operating system.

I wonder if there is a way to include support for both VC++ 2010 and VC++ 2013. Then, we could support the 64-bit builds without forcing people to upgrade. We should definitely distribute the 64-bit binaries, since no one really wants to use 32-bit applications anymore.

Hi Mike,
VS2013 Express for Windows Desktop can be installed on Windows 7 Home 64-bit, so people don't need to update to Windows 8, but people should buy a computer with 64-bit CPUs.
Buy the way, Express version of Virtual Studio is always free from the first day until now.

I think the first step is to find the x64 version of the libraries under the lib folder which other projects depend on.

Great, that would solve this issue. I'll try it again.
It worked, so I converted all the Windows project files to require VC++2013 or newer, and they target 64-bit platforms by default.
