magick++ demo does not link

[tartalaran]

downloaded fresh ImageMagick-6.8.7-10-Q16-x64-dll.exe. Installed with headers and libs on Windows 7 64bit. Opened Magick++_Demo in VS2012. Project "button" compiles, but linker fails:

What's wrong?

The demo does not link because the project files still target x86 instead of x64. Changing the target platform to x64 in the configuration manager should resolve the linking problem. We are working on changing this to make sure both the x86 and the x64 version of the demo will work.
