[vtkusers] Compiling VS2008, 64bit, Vista x64 SP1

[David Cole]

What version of VTK are you using? CVS HEAD should have full 64-bit support.
We run a nightly dashboard on that configuration using Visual Studio 2005
and all the tests pass today:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?buildid=62786

Are you choosing the "Win64" variant of the generator in CMake?

If you are using VTK 5.0.x, I would recommend upgrading to the CVS HEAD of
VTK for 64-bit builds.

HTH,
David
