Visual Studio 2010 only x86 build option?

I'm trying to compile my application for 64 bit, but in the options I only have x86 everywhere? I've looked in all the places but there's only x86 and no 64 bit at all.

Here's what I mean.

enter image description here

There's no options for 64 bit in configuration manager that I can find. Note that this is the Express edition, not the retail edition.

To configure your project's target on a 64-bit platform, you can use the configuration manager in Visual Studio.

Here are the steps:

  1. Go to Build menu

  2. Select Configuration Manager

  3. In the Active solution platform list, select the 64-bit platform for the solution to target.

  4. If you do not see the option, select New

  5. In the New Solution Platform dialog box, select the 64-bit platform for the solution to target.

  6. Now the build of the project will be optimized for 64-bit platforms.

I took it from the blog post Use Visual Studio to build 64-bit application.

Just to let people know if they stumble across this, XNA has no 64 bit support at all which is why I couldn't do it.
