So I wanted to create a X64 bit version of my project.
So I created a new solution platform in the configuration manager.
X64 based on win32
So I select X64 for solution but under platform only Win32 is listed, if I try to create a new x64 under platform I get "This platform could not be create because a solution platform of the same name already exists"
Any help? Am I missunderstanding how this is suppose to work?
I'm having the same issue with a solution with multiple projects.
I downloaded log4cxx and loaded the provided .dsw file which msvc90 up-converted to an sln and vcproj file. I can set the platform for three of the projects to x64 (apr, aprutil and xml) but the log4cxx project balks. The error message is "This platform
could not be created because a solution platform of the same name already exists."

The answer is in the New Project Platform dialog box to uncheck the checkbox at the bottom Create New Solution Platforms.

Using VS2013, I uncheck "Create new solution platforms", click OK, then nothing happens.
