On my VS Express 2008 (x64 Win7 SP1 host):


Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>vcvarsall.bat /?
Error in script usage. The correct usage is:   vcvarsall.bat [option]
where [option] is: x86 | ia64 | amd64 | x86_amd64 | x86_ia64

For example:   vcvarsall.bat x86_ia64

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>vcvarsall.bat amd64

If you have 64-bit compilers, either native or cross-compilers, for
these tools then it's possible you've got them from a separate package
such as an SDK update.

The only 64-bit compilers available on my test host are for VC Express
2012 (x86_amd64 cross-compiler) and Windows SDK 7.1 (native x64 compiler).
