you changed only the linker settings and not the compiler settings. Thats why yoz get the error message. The compiler was not switched to x64 but the linker.
The best thing ( and working ) you can do is:
1. right click on project in project tree
2. go to properties
3. click on the right top bottom "Configuration manager"
4 then choose your prject and the column "Platform"
5. Comboxbox popups and then choose "New"
6. Then choose in the top combobox "x64"
7. Then choose in the bottom combobox "copy from" -> Win32
After that all should compile the way you want it to.

Also, take a look at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/default.aspx where more info regarding what type of installations include what types of features.
However, from your original post, I noticed you were mentioning with "Win64 Trial", am I missing something here, what kind of Win64 did you mean?
