Visual Studio default property sheets not added for 64-bit

I am performing the following steps in Visual Studio 2010, SP1:

  • Create a new, empty Win32 project.
  • (now the property manager shows Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user added
  • Click Win32 in the tool bar and choose "Configuration manager"
  • Active solution platform ->
  • Type: x64, copy settings from Win32 and "Create new project platforms" is checked
  • Now "Release | x64" appears in the property manager, but Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user is NOT added.

I am positive the default property sheet Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user was always added to x64 configurations before. What has happened?

It doesn't get added either on my machine. These default property sheets are hum-ho, is this actually a problem? Post to connect.microsoft.com – Hans Passant

I had the same issue but found that after closing and reopening the solution, the default property sheet Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user had been added to the x64 configurations.

This could be related to the problem that is described here:

And that Microsoft has posted a solution (patch) to here:

(At least; I had a similar problem, and this fixed it.)

I had exactly the same problem after installing VS 2010 SP1. And this fix helped me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2519277
