Thanks!!  Hopefully it will work as easy as you say... Then there are about 5-6 OTHER third party libraries I have to deal with :(

Do the same thing but from a "Visual Studio x64 Command Prompt" instead. This will yield a 64 bit build. 

MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING AT LEAST THE FIRST SERVICE PACK OF WHAT EVER VISUAL STUDIO. There are known 64 bit compiler bugs in all the initial Visual Studio releases that are solved with the Service Pack updates.

Hope that helps.
