I don't remember.  It was back in May when I discovered the problem 
using VS2010 beta 2.

In trying to diagnose it, I uninstalled the beta, installed the 
just-released final version of VS2010 Express, and found that Express 
leaves out the 64-bit compilers.  Since MS pulled the betas when the 
final version came out, I got frozen out of chasing this further short 
of buying a copy of VC++ Professional, a product for which I have no 
professional need.

It's possible MS fixed the problem between beta 2 and final release.

Do you have a need for 64-bit client binaries?  If so, I'd appreciate 
your testing this more thoroughly.  I won't ask you to do that if you'd 
planned on sticking to 32-bit for now.  I want reports from people who 
really need this to work, and so are properly motivated.
