Which PSDK version should I use with VC++2005EE on a 64 bit laptop?

Hi gang! I'm back.

My wife bought me a Gateway laptop for Christmas, so I'm starting fresh with TGE 1.5.2 and VC++2005EE.

When I did this the first time (about 5 years ago), I was using a Toshiba Satellite, and used PSDK-x86.exe.

Now when I go to the Windows Server Download Center, I see three options;
PSDK-amd64.exe
PSDK-ia64.exe
PSDK-x86.exe

I'm assuming the others are for a 64 bit system, which the Gateway is. Should I still use the x86 version, or will VC++2005EE work with the 64 bit PSDK?

Thanks!

I compile T3D to a 32-bit target using VC++ 2008 if that helps. Of course I have the free edition of VC++. My gut tells me it would be better to stick with a 32 bit compile. I bet the supporting libs are 32-bit.

Can they be installed side by side so you can choose at compile time?

I have not messed with TGE in a while.

I was under the impression that even MS had dropped support for VS2005.

Either way, Torque products are all 32bit anyway, so x86 is the safe option

Thanks for the help. I'll go with x86 then.

Its not letting me run the x86 version (says 'wrong version' even using compatibility settings), but the amd64 version DOES install. Hopefully this is a good thing. I'll let you know if there are any other issues.

Thanks again!
