I am sorry, I have no experience with express versions of visual
studio. In the retail versions of VS2005 and greater there are Visual
Studio x64 (and 32 bit ones also) command prompts in the tools menu
for each compiler. Opening up the x64 command prompt sets a few
environment variables that set cc and nmake to build 64 bit
applications.

It should be win32-msvc2010 even on 64 bit builds.
