I have a big issue here, i installed the SDK so i could get the 64 bit compiling tools.
Guess what, VC++ is a 32 bit app and the compiler (installed by a web installer) is a 64 bit dll, so the program won't read the dll and i can't compile 64 bit apps even if i am on a 64 bit system.
All i need is a dll from the sdk, would i be breaking any rules here if i asked for the file?

You installed the Platform SDK? Weird, should work.
What do you mean by not reading the dll?
And what file?
The file is VCProjectAMD64Platform.dll, it is a 64 bit dll, VC++ 2008 express is a 32 bit app, the Microsoft SDK (server 2008) should have placed a 32 bit one. The x64 version is 369kb the x86 is around 280kb, after reading some similar problems from other ppl i found that there are 2 ways of solving this.
1) Install the SDK on a Windows x86 machine with VC++ 2008 and copy the 32 bit version of the dll to the computer with the 64 bit os.
2) Download the Windows SDK 2008 + .NET Framework 3.5, ISO file (1.3gb) from Microsoft.com, burn it to a DVD and extract said dll from a cab file.
Also from microsoft download site: Visual Studio VC++ 2008 Express with native x64 support (<= bullshit)
I would upload it but I have the Windows 2003 Server PSDK or something, so the version would probably mismatch
As I said, I hate Microsoft compilers. That's why mine is installed in a VM. Hehe.
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition doesn't compile 64 bit programs
Hehe, mine will, i found exactly what to do
well then, do tell
If this crappy VC++ 2008 express manage to compile a 64 bit Dolphin after tweaking it, i WILL post a tutorial.
I mean, i'm not stupid, but it was a real headache and time consumer to do it, and i nearly did every single thing wrong before doing something right. For now, it will take half an hour min. That if don't go to bed right now.

What? Did you manage to get the PSDK to work?
Oh yeah it's compiling right now, wish me luck
Shit, ran out of disk space. i'll clean and try in a few minutes
So far DSP tool and the plugins appeared, the exe didn't compile, any ideas?
I think i know where i messed up, i'll try again, at least VC++ 2008 express IS compiling x64 stuff.
