Im not sure if this is dependent on the program. It sounds more like a OS configuration to me. Maybe you should look for this instead. Some configuration to turn off this kind of warnings.

Procedure to run your application in 64 bit OS with VS 2005:
1) Start-> Program-> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, now check the command prompt that contains the line "x64 check built environment".It may be in tools. just check it once.
2)Open this command prompt.
3) Type devenv and execute it.
4) now the IDE is open. Than select configuration win32 to x64 and build your program.
5) You can find one folder with name x64. Now execute this executable.

In VS2008 and VS 2010: I am not sure that they have x64 build environment. It might be you can directly open the IDE and change win32 to x64.
Note: I do not have any IDE right now, may be some steps are partially correct but with the help of that procedure you can create a build of x64.
