I am trying to work in FLAC 8.0 (64-bit software) with User-Written Model (UDM).

1. As per the manual, I need to install Visual Studio 2015, then install 'vs_proweb.exe' (a software patch for VS2010)...however, I failed to install 'vs_proweb.exe' as Microsoft removed this software from their server.

2. Or, I need to install VS 2010, then install “FLAC800VS201xAddin.msi” and choose

the “FLAC800 Constitutive Model” project. Here, my installed 'Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express' failed to detect any Itasca FLAC C++ template due to unknown reasons.

3. Now, with the help of Itacsa FLAC support, I have tried to configure a Win32 project template for UDM (C++) in FLAC by using FLAC 7.0 manual. But, this manual is for creating 32 bit DLLs in VS2005. Instructions for creating 64bit DLLs in VS2010 are inadequate and incomplete to me.

4. Besides, I have installed SDK 4.7 to configure VS 2010 for creating 64bit files as suggested in an online forum. However, I failed to build a 64-bit project. Error msg: The "ConfigurationGeneral" rule is missing from the project.'.

Therefore, if anyone kindly sends me a detailed step-by-step guide for creating a 64 bit DLLs in VS2010 Express (C++) for loading in FLAC 8.0 or any other support material, I will be highly obliged.

Thank you in advance,

Regards,
