I’m using Detours library from microsoft, and I was using the 32bit version (which is free). I’m now on a 64-bit installation of windows 7 and I can’t seem to compile Detours with nmake.

Here is the error:

As you see, it’s trying to compile for 64-bit. How can I force nmake to build for 32bits?

Thanks,
Dave

    I needed windows SDK to compile. Simply google windfows SDK, download & install, run the Windows SDK console in admin mode and compile!

    If installing SDK on windows 7 gives errors, here is the solution:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2717426/de

    This issue occurs when you install the Windows 7 SDK on a computer that has a newer version of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed. The Windows 7 SDK installs version 10.0.30319 of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.

    To resolve this issue, you must uninstall all versions of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable before installing the Windows 7 SDK. You may have one or more of the following products installed:

    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable
