Yes, you are right. If your compiler can only target the 32 bits 
architecture, then all the dependencies must be for that 32 bits 
architecture.

If you are talking about Visual Studio Community Edition (the only one that 
is free), there is a link here:

  https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Search for the link "64 bit versions" (sic).

32 bits.

No particular problem. The Windows 64 bits platform can run both 32 bits and 
64 bits programs. The downside is that the 32 bits platform is generally 
slightly less performante (less registers) and can only deal with 4GB of 
address space (whereas the 64 bits platform memory space is almost 
limitless).
