Need a free IDE/compiler combo for 64 bit windows C++

Issue

So I’m trying to make a x64 program in windows, and I found out that I need VS2010 Pro to make my binaries x64. Now I don’t know about everyone else here, but I’m not a student, and can’t afford over $1,000 bucks. I am against pirating, so don’t suggest that.

I need a IDE/Compiler combo that is easy to download and set up, and requires no building. So binaries only. Please help?

Solution

You can use VS 2010 Express to target 64 bit if you install the Windows Software Development Kit:
